Diarhea caused by sudden food change?

You can feed pumpkin any time...sometimes I'll give them a spoonful by itself if they need it. You can also top a meal with it. Whatever works. I feed it twice a day when needed. About a generous teaspoon on top of their food, or a tablespoon if fed alone.

Yep, that visual of Danny is something...they do know how to thwart our best efforts to help them, don't they?! :rolleyes2:
 
Megansmom, Lexi had similar poop issues (normal all day, then runny, or normal and then runny at the end of the poop, etc...)when she was a puppy. We switched her food a couple times until we found something that didn't give her any issues. I think that there was something in the food that didn't sit right (whether it was an allergy or not, I'll never know).
 
Just don't bake a pumpkin pie and leave it on a Sheltie-high shelf in the fridge. Guaranteed, they will try and help themselves.:lol:

Seriously, like Ann, I give it whenever it is needed, with a meal or not.
 
I had reservations about Bela eating the pumpkin (she lets me know regularly that she just doesn't do veggies). But she gobbled her first tiny meal up like she'd never seen food before.

I've mixed some rice with pumpkin, the smelly baby food chicken (How can people actually feed that stuff to their kids? It smells like rancid cat food), and a little salt-free chicken broth. I'm feeding her two tablespoons every couple of hours.

So far, so good. No more watery stools. In fact, no stools at all. I guess she's cleaned out and ready to start new!

She's playful and barking and enjoying herself more than I've ever seen her. Obviously, she feels fantastic. I wonder if the food I was giving her was contributing to her depression? Just a thought.

Toby's haven't been runny, just very soft and like Lexi, at the end too soft. The sample I brought in yesterday came back negative, THANK GOD, so I know it's not parasitic. I honestly think he eats too much grass, dirt and weeds :rolleyes2:.

We made a fenced off area in the backyard just for him away from tree's, bushes, shrubs etc. He only has access to grass, weeds and dirt.
