I just wanted to give an update on Diva. Because we were finding so much undigested food in Diva's stool, which was primarily the Dr. Harvey's dehydrated veggie bits, we discontinued the Dr. Harvey's by slowly tapering her off while adding sweet potato as a replacement.
The good news is she has stopped her incessant licking behavior and she has hardly any gas! I am now starting to believe that she had a great deal of difficulty digesting the Dr. Harvey's veggies and it may have caused her to have stomach upset. My vet said sometimes dogs will lick because they are in pain and they think it makes them feel better. And she has gained another 1/2 pound!
