UPDATE: He, as I mentioned last night.......LOVES the pumpkin.....I gave him maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons of it. He had a small episode of diarrhea about 10 or so last night......we settled down for the night......I couldn't sleep though worrying about if he got up and I didn't feel him move, so I got his leash, wrapped it around him loosely, put the hook end through the handle....did not tighten it at all.....put it around my hand and went to sleep......he moved once, I followed.....and he has not had diarrhea since last night.......and no vomiting for over 30 hours and I hope, really hope I'm seeing an end to whatever this has been.
I thank everyone for all your input, caring and concerns. Your input, I believe with my heart and soul, has helped me to get him on the road to recovery. I honestly don't know what I would have done without this site and all of you wonderful people. I am grateful beyond words....and I wish I could hug every one of you.
One question I do have is.....Mickey is 23 lbs......how much pumpkin can I feed him in a 24 hour period? I want to give this to him for the rest of his life and he really loves it.
Thank you again everyone.....I have found a home, that's for sure.
