Don't worry, Brett, we'll sort it out. Knowledgeable folks are replying to you.
Raw does not trigger diarrhea unless there's something going on (often per-meal overfeeding, sometimes adding fat or organ meat too suddenly) ..... That is, diarrhea is not a "raw feeding" problem.
But let's try to see first if it's diet-related at all: Has she EVER had stretches of time with no diarrhea? That is, has she had on-and-off diarrhea since you got her?
Also, does "she has been to the vet for a checkup and is fine" encompass a fecal, or not?
Also, unless I missed it, can we get a good description of the diarrhea? Watery? Pudding? Soft-serve ice cream?
Is there ever straining, as if constipated, before the diarrhea? Is there any unusual color?
Some good comments about the skin here. Hadn't thought of that.
I feed my 50lbs Malinois drumsticks and HK (Thrive). Twice a day, every day.
Each meal is 2 x drumsticks and 1 x cup of HK.
Even then, she might get diarrhea from time to time. When it doesn't clear up in 24 hours or so, I switch to pure HK (1.5 cups per meal) and it usually clears up in about 24 hours. Then I switch back to drumsticks and HK again.

Typo on the weight I meant her ideal body weight = 50 lbs and the pup = 30 lbs. So right now she is 30 lbs. The poop was very soft poop no shape to it all but not clear and watery. Today her poop is back to normal after just feeding her THK and overcooked rice. I went out yesterday and finally found chicken backs so I will start her on those tomorrow.
My idea is to feed her THK and chicken backs when she is good with those I will then add other meats to her diet and small amounts of organ meats. I’m going to keep up the THK just for the added nutrients now of course and later on when she is accustom to the meats.

Ok I gave Bella her first back last night and this AM great poop no problems yet. I removed as much of the skin as possible from the backs, I weighed a few backs to see how much one back weighed on average about 6 oz. Also, the backs have some organ meat on them. So I’m going to give her this for the next few weeks then add in some different meats as we go.
