She's better, but question about pumpkin

Posted : 10/6/2006 11:36:48 AM

Bogey is better and the diarreah is much better. Sorry but this is graphic. The other day it was like liquid and now it's more formed but still mushy and a gold-ish color. But this is a great improvement. She's not having to go constantly but just at her regular times: morning, later afternoon and before bedtime. I've been feeding her rice and boiled chicken. Should I give her pumpkin? If so, how much?

I would definately give her some pumpkin. I'd give about a tablespoon or two.

When Liz had diarreah because of a food change the pumkin didnt work, but the chicken did. When she ate something that didnt agree with her the pumkin worked wonders.

Sometimes it just depends. I'd give it a shot.

Thanks much. I put in hardly any chicken as she's often allergic to it if she eats too much. But I'm going to try the pumpkin. She eats anything and everything. . . we have no idea what caused the diarreah as we haven't done anything different, but it could be a virus or something, too. She's drinking and acting like normal. Thanks. !

Jenny, I hope Bogey gets better soon. If Bogey has problems with chicken you could try boiled hamburger.

Well, I made another batch of rice and NO chicken and it seems to be helping. I added a big spoonful of pumpkin and it seems to work wonders. This morning her poop was back to normal. I'm going to keep giving her rice ONLY for another day or 2 and then slowly add her kibble back. Thanks for your help. We had Chinese food last night and had quite a bit of steamed rice left over so used that !
