Pumpkin is full of fiber and it works for both constipation and diarrhea. Once you open the can of pumpkin, whatever you have not used after a couple of days you can freeze. Just drop some on wax paper on a cookie sheet and put in freezer then after it freezes just put it in ziplock bags for later use. |
Great post! Constipation is an important symptom if there is vomiting involved, because this could indicate an intestinal obstruction, and in that case you would want to see a vet immediately. In this case, however, it sounds like she just needs a little time to get back on track, and many people have had success with pumpkin. Hope Chloe's feeling better soon!
