However, the longterm goal would be to not be dependent on the fiber to keep the stools hard. What I was mostly referring to was adding extra ingredients to put weight on him. I think he'll gain weight just fine once he's on track again. Don't want to shock his system with a barrage of calories.

But this dog needs to regain an uninflamed gut WAY more than he needs a completely balanced varied diet right now. You are temporarily adding fiber to firm up his poop.

I know people who do raw with no veggies ever, and I know folks who use veggies with every meal. I'm of the opinion that people should try both and see what works well for them, for my dogs I do raw with organs and veggies daily.

But Michel, your main goal is bland limited diet right now, and the organs and produce daily aren't your focus right now.

You didn't mention that he was getting eggs before.... This is an important detail that could shed light on the situation. How much and how often was he getting egg?
