Good for you, Kurt.
You are not going to find ANY raw diet advocate in any book or on any website who omits the appropriate calcium, usually in digestible bone but obviously doable with supplementing (although there is then the loss of the other bone advantages).
Personally, I recommend a gradual start with the diet. The goal represented on the Leerburg "How I Feed Puppies at Leerburg" pages is, for me, a goal. That is, I would not gather all the ingredients and plunk them down at Meal 1. I'd start with poultry and take off the skin (and fat globs) just to start. As soon as you see perfect poop, then you add the next item, and so on.
Organ meat in particular is something to add slowly and gradually, working up to 5 or 10% of the diet.
The best cure for diarrhea from too much too soon is: avoiding it.
If you want to start another thread about the perfect puppy raw diet, feel free (since this one is actually about a urine issue).
This board is filled with extremely experienced as well as educated raw feeders.

UPDATE! Hey guys i did some shopping and for the next weeks and hopefully weeks to come my pup will be on the following diet:
chicken necks
gizzard
heart
chicken wings
liver
Alfalfa
Kelp
Super C 2000
Vitamin e
eggs
some greenies
cod liver oil
i waiting to see some results
Have you opened the cod liver oil? Can it be returned for body (not liver) oil? Fish liver oil has too much of a couple of fat-soluble vitamins (A being the more worrisome) for freely giving it in therapeutic doses, because they accumulate rather than flush out.
You're starting with just the RMBs for a couple of days, right? And watching the poop?
Ok guys, poop is firm and hard, since i introduced the new diet to him, it is never watery, and brown most time, no chunks in it ( i guess everything was processed) im also seeing his coat get more fluffy and he's putting on muscles. This guy looks happy right now
