Hi Beth
Just a quick note - if the loose stool doesnt clear up within a day after you try the pumpkin, Bitsy needs to go to the vet. At 11 weeks old she is very young and can dehydrate fast. Do you know how to check to make sure she is hydrated? The gums should be pink (not white) and they should be moist, not sticky or feel tacky. A little loose stool may seem like nothing, but these babies can go down hill quickly so you need to watch her very closely. If she does not like the pumpkin, you can try a little cooked sweet potato and that will add fiber to the diet as well. But really I'd be calling the vet if she is not over this very fast!
Keep us posted.
