| alternative to pumpkin? Smokey's medicine sometimes gives him really bad diarrhea if he doesn't eat enough when he takes it. So the other day he got sick and it takes a couple days for his system to go back to normal. Typically in order to get him to eat a full meal to take his medicine I have to mix a little wet food with his dry and he'll chomp it all up, but since he had some diarrhea, I decided to try canned pumpkin because that's supposed to help with that... buuuuut he doesn't like it. I had to mix some wet food on top of that hoping he'd eat everything then, but even then he only ate around the pumpkin. Is there another alternative to pumpkin I can give him if he has loose stools or diarrhea? He's super picky.

| Ziva is a really fussy eater, and I don't know if you agree feeding him your food (I know bad habit) but Ziva will take just about anything from me if she thinks I am eating it. I made a big fuss about eating green beans and "sharing "with her- now she loves them! |

| . My vet encourages you to use rice. So I use rice with some chicken broth for flavor

| Apple works well as it has pectin. Mine will only eat the Fuji & it usually clears it up quickly. |

| Baby sweet peas tend to give stools bulk/hardness. Best wishes to Smokey.

| I'm going to say that I'd go for sweet potatoes or sweet baby peas. I find using baby peas that are unsalted to be easiest to keep and use.
