Great question! I'm glad Thor is feeling better and his bowels have returned to normal! I would keep him on the chicken diet for at least five days, and then start mixing in his biscuits with the chicken. Over the next week, slowly increase the amount of biscuits and decrease the amount of chicken until he is eating the biscuits only. I hope this helps :-)
