Diarhea caused by sudden food change?

I simply cannot understand why my parents cannot resist feeding my animals!!! While I was living with them, they would not allow me (or anyone else) to eat without giving Neechee a bite. My vet convinced my mom that he should only have carrots as his "bite", but it took a while.

So they were over on Christmas Day and we are all sitting at the table, and I suddenly notice a little black nose rise up to the height of the table between my mom and dad. It was Bela, and the 'rents were slipping her table scraps!!!!! She is NEVER fed table scraps, and knows how to be polite when people are eating. Now, I'm not so sure!

Yes, they fed her ham. After I told them expressly not to, and left acceptable dog treats on the kitchen counter.

(Can I apply for new parents?)
 
I had a hard time with my Dad feeding Noah everything he could. I still have to correct him with Emma and Liam, but he is better.
 
I would add cooked rice to the baby food chicken to bind her up. You need something that will help harden the stools.
 
Canned pumpkin is fine - just make sure it is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling with the spices added. You don't want that one.
 
Again, she really should be on a mixture of boiled chicken breast or chicken baby food (but that's richer) and cooked white rice. She should stay on it for a few days ... don't be in a rush to get her back on kibble. She won't starve! She should be on this diet until 24 hours AFTER the diarrhea stops, and then very slowly transitioned back to kibble, adding a little at a time to the chicken/rice mixture.

You can use canned pumpkin (the pure kind, as Danisgoat said) but it really should be mixed with rice. If you can pick some up, that would be best.
 
Along the same topic....if I want to firm up Toby's stool, when is the best time to give pumpkin? Before a meal, after a meal, before bed etc?

We brought in a stool sample today just to make sure the normal and occasional soft stool is not parasitic. He had normal stools all day yesterday and even today until about an hour ago, normal then soft at the end! :uhoh:

Could nibbling on dirt, weeds and grass cause this? To say he is a BRAT and puts everything in his mouth is a huge understatement..:rolleyes2:
