    Natural Dog Diarrhea Cures?

    One of my friends recently informed me about treating dog diarrhea with natural medicines. Does anybody have a suggestion for a product? I've been searching around a few websites and found some information but I'm just curious if the stuff really works.

    Pumpkin can help, as can a bland diet (rice and ground beef) -- depends on what remedy you're talking about.

    callie's suggestion is a good one. If you do use pumpkin, pure pumpkin with no spices...nothing added. Bland diet is good too. If you are inquiring along the lines of herbs/supplements, I'm not sure but maybe callie can help you with that.

    Pumpkin eh? I did some research in the meantime and found some info on these sites:
    The Pet Center - Scary Pictures
    Dog Diarrhea
    The first site had some intense photos...I'd only recommend it for those with a strong stomach. The second site had 'homeopathic' cures. I'm not too familiar with this type of treatment but I figured I'd try one of their recommendations. I think it was roonipoo??...anyways it seemed to work. Thanks for the info though!

    i've had good results using ginger, sometimes combined with chammomile.

       Pumpkin can help with soft stools but I'm not sure about watery stools. About a year ago Jessie had 10 cases of diarrhea in twelve hours, so I called my vet and he recommended Immodium and it worked like a charm; I think I only needed to give her 2 doses. He also recommended a bland diet of meat and rice for a few days, and he wanted a stool sample to check for parasites. If you haven't done so yet, you should probably take a stool sample to your vet.

     I have had good success with pumpkin also. I give each of my dogs pumpkin mixed in their food daily. It works for diarrhea and it also works for constipation.
