Thank you for all your advice Jodie. I will get the meds today for my other dogs. Why do you suggest giving it in liquid form? I will, but just wondered why?
I will also be at the store to make sure I have some of the things you list-yogurt and pedialyte!
And what about the pumpkin? It is used for either, diahrrea or constapation? Is is ok to give regularly or only when needed for one of these symptoms?
