I have not been removing the skin. I will try that the next couple of times along with some pumpkin.
The first couple of days I went really light on the food, but since then it's been 3/4lb to 1lb a day. He weighs between 35 and 40 pounds, so around 2% to 2.5% of his weight.
His next vet appointment for puppy shots is Saturday. I have to get a fecal sample for them then, so we'll see. They gave him some deworming stuff the first two visits, so hopefully that's not the issue.
Thanks.
