  Re: Need some info on Pepto for upset tummy - rather urgent Reply Contact My mother used to be a dietrist  in a Hospital before, she was in charge of planning which foods each person needed to eat while in the Hospital due to their condition For diarreah she used to plan plain toast for the patient, toast is not greasy whatsoever, is filling for the stomach and for some reason the body does not feel the need to "get it out" as often So thats what i do with Chuck every time it happens and works like a charm. He is happy because he is full, the toast is not heavy on the stomach and he barely poops I dont starve him because he gets moody :) "There are not bad dogs, only bad owners"

  Re: Need some info on Pepto for upset tummy - rather urgent Reply Contact  Um...why does diarrhea have nothing to do with the stomach?  And it seems to work for Crusher no matter what is wrong with his tummy.  I give it to him, if he gets at something he's not supposed to, and I want to prevent issues, like yesterday when he ate half a loaf of fresh baked bread off of my counter...sniff.   Candace

  Re: Need some info on Pepto for upset tummy - update Reply Contact  Just an update. Keela is doing fine today. Was perky and bouncy this morning. Actually, she was doing her "I'm going to die from starvation" dance drama that she does every meal time. I'm serious, this is one food obsessed dog. LOL Stool was a little black this morning, but normal in every other way. She doesn't look puffy anymore either.  Thanks everyone for your input! Amy, Jezebelle, Keela, and Piper

Well, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but diarrhea is an issue in the intestines, not the stomach.  As far as pumpkin goes, I've heard it sometimes works for diarrhea and/or constipation.  But, I've never heard it used for the stomach.  If it works great, but that wasn't the use I've read about. I'm glad to see she's better!
