| Diarrhea - How much pumpkin do I give? Betty Boop woke up at 1:30 a.m. and had one episode of diarrhea. Her intestines are gurgling. At times, she licks her lips and swallows. She hasn't vomited. I am to blame for this. I gave her white meat chicken that was seasoned (no skin but was boiled with the skin) and she was only used to getting plain, no-skin boiled chicken. Don't ask why I did this......I don't know why I did it. Guess I couldn't resist those big, pleading eyes. I've learned my lesson! Is there anything else I can do? She is acting normal, otherwise. Thanks.

| When their stomach makes alot of noise that means its coming so I give them some kibbles and that stop that. But if they do get it I always have some diarrhea meds in the frieg from the vet to stop it until I get to his office and I give them the steam rice with boil chicken. When I'm out of the meds I ask him for some more and he gives it to me because he knows I will bring them in. Geee I hope thats all she had and is back to normal in the morning.

| I'm sorry Betty Boop is feeling bad this morning. If I recall, I think it is 1 or 2 T of the pumpkin. We can't find pumpkin around here now. When we could I gave my two 1T with their kibble a few times a week, because it is good for them. Jada had an upset tummy the 2nd week after we brought her home and her tummy made horrible gurgling noises(my DS has a cat and he was home from college,we didn't realize she could get to his cat food, but she did!!!). It lasted about 24hrs and after that she was fine. I would call my vet this morning if she is still feeling bad, they can give her something to settle her tummy.Good luck and hope Miss Betty Boop is feeling better soon.

| Boop is doing so much better this morning. She just pooped again and it was firmer and held its shape. I gave her some pumpkin, rice and her dry kibble. So, I think the worst is over. Had to give her butt baths several times during the wee hours!!! It almost made me re-think letting her keep the long hair!! Thanks for the well wishes everybody!

| We used to have Ingles,but it closed about 5 yrs ago. There used to be one in the next county over, I will have to check and see if it is still there. Thanks My mom did find someone at her church that had cooked and froze a bunch of fresh pumpkins in the fall. She is supposed to be getting some from her too.
