Alright, I think I got the husband convinced I can make a raw diet work. I wanted to start a new thread so I could focus on the diet itself and get advice when I run into problems (adjustment period, etc.).
The proposed diet:
Chicken Leg Quarters (bone-in, raw)
Rice (white, cooked)
Egg (raw, shell included)
She currently goes through a little shy of 4 cups of kibble a day, at two feedings. I'm still not sure if i should keep up two feedings or let her have a big breakfast and a smaller snack in the evening. Our two cats are already on a twice-daily feeding so it's easiest to just to everyone at once.
I was thinking 1 Leg Quarter, about a cup total of rice, and 1 egg as a daily routine. Since I can't give her her commercial treats, I thought I'd go with raw chicken livers. I already buy them for myself, and they're pretty cheap so it's no big deal to stock up.
Hopefully by keeping it simple (chicken, rice and egg ONLY), we can get rid of her food allergy/sensitivity. She's showing some pinkish blotches on her less heavily-furred skin but is otherwise fine.
Any feedback/suggestions for the diet, feeding schedule, what to expect etc. would be most welcome ... I'm planning on switching her this weekend.
