Alternative to pumpkin for diarrhea? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rmt5001 · 03-14-2010, 08:26 AM

I went to two different stores looking for pumpkin. The guy at the second store said there was a problem with pumpkin crops this year and so it will be a while before they start producing canned pumpkin again. Beckett has had loose stools for a few days and yesterday had diarrhea all over his kennel. He has no other signs of sickness.

Is there anything else I can give him to help firm his stool?

banana or apple should do the trick. or apple sauce or yogurt (plain, NOT lite, organic)

Green peas may do the trick as well.

how about lassen health food store they had it as i ran into that problem too - i have a link i will post as someone told me where to get it

Maxwell Dog Online this place by me has it and they may ship it to you as they have a dog version

green beans can help but i use organic always

also probiotics dds plus from vitamin shoppe and several people on here used it and cleared up diarhea asap and it does for mine too - i double up 4 capsules when mine have diarhea and 2 capsules a day in my dog that has stool issues

I make organic pumpkin treats for mine. I have it on hand all the time that way. My furbabies think of it as a treat and I know it is good for them.
