You shouldnt have any more than 10% of the diet as organ, so for one pound of liver you'd need 8 pounds of meat. Also is your estimate including bone? That should be about 10% of the diet as well. And 80% muscle meat.

So I'm not far off then? 4 lbs chicken, 2 lbs beef heart, and 1 lb liver.. thats 6lbs meat to 1lb liver.. so do a little less than 3/4 lb beef liver from now on per that amount right?

Is that amount of beef heart too much?

Beef heart is considered muscle meat, not organ, so you shouldn't use it when figuring how much organs to add.

Correct, for 6 lbs of muscle meat you'd add 3/4 lb of secreting organ. Heart is considered muscle meat, liver is secreting organ. How much bone content and you giving?

Whatever small bones, ribs, spine, and wing tips - I don't know how much that is...

A whole chicken has about 30% bone. So if you figure out how much of that you are taking out you can get a approximate amount of bone. Also watch the litter box. If poop is too dry and crumbly then they are getting too much bone.

I thought you were supposed to take out the large bones....? I gave wing tips, spine and ribs... so maybe 1/3rd of total idk...

UPDATE: She seems a lot better! moving all over the closet, and bedroom. Still skittish, but much less.... Every move is retracted, but shortly, and she is playing quite a bit....

Thank you all for the support, It has hardly been over a week, and the difference is incredible....

This is a long video, but it's good as it gives you an idea of what to use

I'm so happy to hear of the improvement! What therapies have you been using with her?
