Howdy, y'all. Some of you might have already seen or followed the big post about my Oscar that I occasionally update here.
Recently we gave Oscar some samples of Hills GI Biome WET that the internal medicine office had sitting around (their last three they'd been hoarding) and for the first time in months (maybe even a year), Oscar had more solid poops for a day and a half... then we ran out of the samples.
I can't be certain it was that food that dramatically improved his poops until I try it again. I can't think of anything else we did differently, though. BUT, as many of you know, it's literally impossible to find right now.
We got our hands on a bag of the dry food, but it isn't working so far. After reading the ingredients on both the dry and wet, I see the wet seems slightly better in multiple ways, including having more fiber. The internal medicine doctor suggested more fiber might help, which is why we tried the sample of in the first place.
So my question is this: What fiber foods can I add to Oscar's food that might be okay for his sensitive system and NOT cause more diarrhea? We desperately need to firm up his poop, or he will never stabilize and continue to go downhill. It also needs to be appealing because he is extremely picky right now, due to his sensitive system.
Thanks for any tips anyone can offer. I've been scouring the forum extensively but it seems all the fiber discussion is around stopping constipation, and we have the opposite problem.
