I was toadally wrong when I thought (and posted) that canned pumpkin was the only canned squash of its type that was very low in sugar. I was comparing it to canned sweet potato and the pumpkin won, hands down.
Today I saw (and bought) canned plain butternut squash. I guess it comes out of hiding for the holidays. It was on sale, and it has very low sugar, like plain canned pumpkin.
It was so cheap on sale that I stocked up my "doggy diarrhea aids" shelf today.
I made an interesting concoction for my dog. A variation of frozen Dawgy Paws: basically plain yogurt and canned pumpkin. (2 parts yogurt, 1 part pumpkin). Froze it in small muffin pan. It fits perfectly inside the medium size everlasting treat ball. A BIG hit. You could use the canned squash--I was thinking of that since it was on sale at Cosco....

Stocking up is a good idea. I heard on the news a few days ago that pumpkin may be in short supply for a while because of bad weather conditions in the areas growing them for canning.

I completely forgot to say WHY I was looking at the canned squashes. A forum member mentioned in a PM about Libby's having a crop failure, and pumpkin stock expected to be way short .... and we were saying "let's stock up," and voila! There next to the non-Libby's pumpkin were all these cans of butternut squash!

That's a nice idea! (Both plain unsweetened, of course ... )
That makes a probiotic and a prebiotic all in one mixture!
Does the squash have the same fiber and pectin ratio that pumpkin does? (I assume it is the fiber and the pectin that make it effective for both constipation and loose stools.)

Looks like Yes. I looked up winter squashes online and found that several (at least 4-5 different ones, from acorn to pumpkin) are pretty much interchangeable as far as fiber/pectin/vitamins go. "Winter squash like butternut, acorn squash, and pumpkins are members of the same family, similarly high in fiber and nutrient dense."
I was happy to find a second plain canned variety.
