Hi,
About how much canned pumpkin would be approriate to add to my dogs food for pudding type stool?
She had soft stool yesterday, stool was negative for parasites. I fed her cooked rice/hamburger last night and this morning....her stool is solid but not hard.
Just wondering how much canned pumpkin is added?
I was going to use icecube tray to freeze what is left over, into cube sized "doses" and keep them in the freezer to use as needed....(since I opened a big can today)

Linda, refresh my memory on the size of your dog......
Also, is it pudding stool, or is it formed? If it is formed, I would not mess with it as pumpkin is dual purpose....it may also constipate her if she has already formed stool.
Rice is great, although I would use boiled skinless white breast of chicken. Even the leaner ground beef is to greasy IMO.
If your dog is a larger breed, the ice cube tray would be a good idea. Just wrap the tray in plastic wrap as pumpkin can freezer burn if left uncovered.
I always start with a bit of pumpkin at first and give more if needed. Usually two TBSP for my hound and one for the others to start with.

If she has an upset tummy, I would give the pumpkin mixed in some rice or rice and chicken for the first few meals, once her stools are normal I would finish up the rice/chicken and then start with small regular meals and see what happens.
You should only have to give her pumpkin once or twice.......
