| loose/weather Over the last couple of days,my babies have had very loose stools. They are eating/drinking and playing as usual. I think it is the hot weather we have been having, they are use to rain and colder temperatures (im in uk ) I have spoke to a friend and her dogs are the same. My question is what can i give them to firm them up? I have heard canned pumpkin is good, but i cant get any! suggestions please |

| You could try to give a little bit of keopectate. My vet gave that to Chachi once when he had diiahrea.

| Chicken and rice is a good diet for diarrhea. The chicken is easy to digest and the rice will firm up the stools. I don't know anything about weather causing a change of stools, usually it is a parasite, diet change or stress. If it continues for more than 48 hours, I think I would take a stool sample in for testing. |

| Immodium works great, depending on what is causing the loose stool. If it isn't better after administering the Immodium, I'd phone the vet. |
