| Very loose stools - help! For the past 24 hours, Lucy has had very loose stools, including a couple yesterday which were 'slimy'. It has improved slightly this morning, as I gave her a couple of doses of Pro-kolin yesterday - but does anyone know what else I can do? If it's still as loose tomorrow, I'm going to take her to the vet, but would like to feed her something which might help 'glue things together'. I know a lot of people have suggested pumpkin in the past, but we don't seem to be able to get it here in our part of the UK. Any ideas, please?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You can give a tsp or so of canned pumpkin. Pepto can also help w/ diarrhea (not just vomiting) - you could give a tsp of that as well. Oh shoot, just saw you can't find pumpkin. A bit of yogurt can help (non-fake-sugar kind). Pinch of Benefiber if you have it.

| Yep, try a teaspoon of canned (whole) pumpkin. If it's something temporary this will help. |
