[rawfeeding] Runny bowel movements

Good afternoon all, I am a newbie to feeding raw. i have have been
feeding my 9 wks. old lab Jackson for about 1 week(only chicken for
now). I stumbled unto raw feeding because "Jackson" was having runny
bowel movements while on kibble.
I brought the vet an 8hrs old bowel movement to be checked for
problems, but none were found. The vet had me try some prescription
kibble for intestinal issues, but had mixed results, some firm, mostly
runny.
His first 2 bowel movements on the raw diet were firm, but all his
bowel movements since are gelatinous. No as bad as the kibble but,
still runny. I have not tried the canned pumpkin or the rice with
cooked ground beef yet(I read these remedies help firm up the stool).
This issue has been going on for 2 weeks now. Runny bowel movement
aside, Jackson appears and, behaves like a healthy puppy.
I am hoping someone who has been through this before can provide some
guidance. I am convinced that raw feeding is the best diet for dogs,
and will continue Jackson on this diet, just need to get over this hump.
Thanks for taking the time to help,
Felix
