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? |
I would suggest the liquid meds because with the Pancur it is usually a powder you sprinkle on their food - so even if they're not eating, you can be assured with a liquid med given by syringe that they are in fact getting it all.
Pumpkin is used for both diarrhea and constipation. I occasionally give it as a treat as the girls love it. I read a thread somewhere where someone froze it into mini ice cubes and gave it as a treat also.
My girls really love their yogurt. I use Stoneyfield Organic as it has 6 live, active cultures. I try to find the low-fat version and plain, but they occasionally will get vanilla and full-fat as well. It has the highest number of live active cultures than any other brand I've found.
