I've never had to try pumpkin but I have read that it's really good for animals digestion whether they have constipation or diarrhoea, it's a general balancer so worth a go.
Thankyou both of you
I have never tried pumpkin on any animal before, but I have heard about it. Will I have to buy a whole big pumpkin or can you get it in puree form or in smaller portions? No one likes pumpkin so it would go to waste! If not, i'll just buy a whole one, but i'd rather not if possible!

I will try the probiotics with her and see how it goes
