But be sure that your dog sees a vet first. From the article: Before we begin, however, please be aware that if your pet is experiencing diarrhea, a veterinarian should first determine if an underlying medical condition exists. Pets, just like humans, get diarrhea for many reasons; you should first know what you are dealing with before you attempt to manage it. Severe diarrhea can also result in dehydration and loss of electrolytes, potentially serious issues that may require medical intervention such as intravenous fluids and electrolyte balancing solutions to resolve. Once your veterinarian gives the “all-clear” to manage your pet’s diarrhea more naturally, you can consider whether pumpkin is a viable alternative. |
I never really tried her on the pumpkin and we don't know if she going to like it. but that something we can try on her next if the chicken and rice don't work on her. but I will check out the site later on and see what else they have to say. if things don't change by Friday when she go in to have her butt clean out. but I did find out that my aunt little one is having the running pop too. so it could be the weather. all we can do is wait for now.
