took the advice from here and bought some pumpkin yesterday at the
store, starting with her yesterday 2nd feeding giving her 1/2 tsp, she loves
it by the way...and have given her 1/2 tsp this morning and this afternoon,
we went out to poop right after the 1:00 feeding and she pooped, it looked
alot better, much more firmer than it has been for the last couple months, my question is...can I supplement her feeding with pumpkin, or is that too
much pumpkin to give her...it says its good fiber on the can...I'm wondering once I stop her poops will go back to the old soft serve type... |
She gobbled down her food probably because she is not used to having lunch this late. When she'll get used to that habit, it'll be ok.
Jackie always eats fast - hungry or not. It's just her thing.
But i never had any problems with that so ...
Her stools are soft? What kind of food are you feeding her? Did you change her diet recetly? Does she eat kibble?
Pumpkin is great. Jackie had a soft stool as well (she got poisoned outside ... ), but we gave her boiled rice and it was ok. She loved rice and her stool went from totally soft to hard as a rock.
I wouldn't supplement all of her food with pumpkin. I didn't do that with rice. Jackie just had a bit of rice with her food. Or she had an extra meal during the day.
About free feeding (just my opinion): I wouldn't free feed her now. I have been thinking about free feeding JAckie, but i think she is so used to her feeding routine she would just eat constantly if i would free feed her. But again - that's just my opinion.
