Hi, have you seen a vet that specializes in IBD?? I have a dog with IBD, he can NOT eat boiled rice the boiled rice irritates his bowel, your dog sounds like she has food sensitivities & you are feeding the wrong kibbles, have you tried “Taste Of The Wild” Pacific Stream Smoked Salmon or Sierra Mountain Roasted Lamb? after my boy was on a vet diet Eukanuba Intestinal 9 months to rest & heal his bowel + Metronidazole (Flagyl) antibiotic for the stomach & bowel, we tried a few kibbles but after 4-5 weeks Patch would start doing sloppy yellow poos & be put back on vet diet Eukanuba Intestinal Low Residue & the Metronidazole for 10 days, food sensitivities can take 1 day up to 6 weeks to show symptoms… then finally I tried the TOTW Smoked Salmon first & then the Roasted Lamb formula, I never tried TOTW cause I thought like you Patch couldn’t have any kibbles that were higher then 12% in fat & the TOTW was 15% in the Smoked Salmon & Roasted Lamb so I never tried the TOTW but its been the best kibble for Patch…he does his firmest poos on the TOTW & now I’m trying Pro Pac Ultimates Meadow Prime Lamb & Patch is doing good poos & the Pro Pac Ultimates Bayside Select Whitefish.. but its taken 3 years to finally fined the TOTW kibble & now the Pro Pac Ultimates Grain Free, the Grain Free kibbles seem to work the best…
Hills use chicken in most of their kibbles with the Hills W/d sounds like tooo much fiber causing the bad constipation & food sensitivities probably to the chicken causing the bleeding, stay away from chicken & boiled rice, boiled rice is old school now, you need to see a vet that specializes in IBD ASAP, letting her keep going like this will damage her bowel & will cause thickening of the bowel in the long run…….
Taste Of The Wild makes Kirkland kibbles but I think there’s more ingredients in the Kirklands kibbles, you need to try a kibble with very limited ingredients & have just 1 Novel Protein like Kangaroo, Rabbit, Venison, Salmon or Lamb & only 1-2 carbs & stick with kibbles with Sweet Potatoes & Potatoes…..Chickpeas & lentils are harder to digest but if further down the ingredient list may be OK…..
TOTW Sierra Mountain Roasted Lamb has the least ingredients out of all the TOTW formulas & may be worth a tried or Royal Canin Vet Diets PR, PS or PV these are Potato & Rabbit, Potato & Salmon & Potato & Venison….I really think your dog has food sensitivities & you need a vet that specializes in IBD so you can try the vet diets not Hills Vets Diets & work what is happening with your dog….have you tried boiling potatoes & sweet potatoes? Oats would be like the rice
there’s also “Natural Balance” & “California Natural” Lamb meal & brown rice has only 3 ingredients & the rice in kibbles is grounded, my boy can eat rice in kibbles but not boiled rice, vet said the sharp corners of the rice is what irritates the bowel & can get caught in little pockets of the bowel……
