| Zoe always gets diarrhea and stress from moving is def a reason for this. Boil white rice with water and add some white meat chicken for flavor and feed it to your baby until his stool get harder. WHen his stool is back to normal, SLOWLY convert his diet back to his dog food. If he still has diarrhea after a few days of chicken rice, def bring him to the vet. They can get easily dehydrated.

| Canned pumpkin is for them when they can't go to the bathroom. Do not give to a furbaby that has diarrhea that will make it worst. Only use pumpkin for constipation.

| Canned Pumpkin works both ways I've been reading quite a few holistic canine health books, and canned pumpkin is actually recommended for both constipation and diarrhea.

| I would call the vet, Chewy had to have a shot to hydrate him because he was not drinking and he was going to the bathroom a lot! These little one's can get dehydrated really fast. Please don't take a chance...It really is worth a vet trip if you have to go! I had to do the chicken and rice thing and I saved the broth from the chicken so I could mix it with his rice and chicken... more liquid that way!

But you're prob. safe with the rice/chicken. If you do you pumpkin, just a little bit. Let us know how your little one is doing.

| I would do boiled white chicken and white rice.....Plain Pumpkin is good for both diarrhea and constipation and upset tummies. My dog will not eat it, she runs and hides under the coffee table
