Unhappy HELP! Red is sick.....

My baby is sick, but not acting abnormal. She's got diarrhea, and has had it for 3 days now. She's eating fine, drinking water fine, and she's still playing with the dogs like normal. She can't seem to hold her poop in! She's been sneaking downstairs, which she NEVER does, and having diarrhea down there at least 3 times a day! It's like water, with chunks in it, but no blood or anything. I read about pumpkin, so I bought her some, but I'm wondering if it's the right kind. I got this stuff called pure pumpkin. The ingredients are 100% pure fancy grade pumpkin.....what's fancy grade pumpkin?? I don't want to make her more sick. If this doesn't clear up by tomorrow night, she's going to the vet. Any advice?

I agree, if it doesn't clear itself up to call your vet.

It sounds to me like she ate something she wasn't supposed to. My Toby ate tulip bulbs once and diarrhea terribly, he only had it for 24 hours, then it stopped. He also had energy and was playful, and didn't seem sick, besides having the runs really bad. He went in the kitchen a bunch of times, he just couldn't hold it.

Poor baby...I hope she feels better soon.

you can bulk up her stool by making her some rice, and add the rice water in to the mix..(with some boiled beef or chicken)

p.s your pumpkin sounds o.k., just as long as it's not Pumkin Pie Mix
