Crazy that we are all telling you to give one thing and intro other things gradually and then we tell you to add stuff too....AHHHH the wonderful world of raw. It gets easier really fast though....
Thats why I shut up, and bowed out 'til the poo gets premium.

well it didnt actually come out white but it was alot lighter and less runnier then before, from wht i was told, im still waiting to see for myself he just ate so in about 20 mins im going to bring him out and look..
Cool. I wasn't sure if it was still runny or if it was starting to crumble. If he was back full on solid, I was gonna give my .02 cents on where to go now.
Since you're still improving from runny, then carry on.:smile:
Ditto.
If you are heading for normal poop, stick to the limited ingredients until you have a day or two of real, not-runny, log poops.
Then add one ingredient at a time. STOP if diarrhea starts again, even a little.

By then this may (should) be under control completely, if it's just diet-related.

yeah i thinks its diet related, i just took him out and his poos is deff not runny anymore still real soft and gooey, and i took a stick and checked the bone frags and they are soft just like i was told they would be, i also seen some bright red color in there also looks like little pieces of organ or soomething maybe even bone marrow, not sure but imnot to alarmed.
being how his stool isnt runny i took the liberty of giving him a small ammount of canned tuna, and ill see how that comes out.
and btw this foroum rocks

Mike, you can try adding some raw canned pumpkin to the food. It helps with runny stools

if you have a pet store nearby, check out the grizzly salmon oil.
http://leerburg.com/47.htm
If not, I'd hold off buying it today and order it from leerburg. They are usually cheaper anyway.
The goal is to balance over time, not every meal.
The items I would be feeding until the poop is perfect:
one meat source (I would use chicken, no skin, with bones)
yogurt
pumpkin
and that's it.
As the poop gets better, add another meat source, and the oil. I'd also start adding eggs as well.
Once you consistently get good poops, start to vary and add organ meat. Should take too long.

Vitamin E, yes.
Salmon oil, you can buy in capsules at a health food store but you'd have to give like 5 capsules per meal. (Depending on how much your dog weighs). I've never been able to find liquid salmon oil with the pump locally, but you can order it from Leerburg. Probably some pet health food stores might have it.??
