I have a German Shepherd puppy 4 months old and she developed severe diarrhea and I found this site and put her on one probiotic yogurt in the mornings and a combo of rice/cayenne/pumpkin three times a day and by the second day she was better and on the third she was cured! Thank you sooooo much for this site and for all the members who wrote about their experiences!
Since the third day I have added a little protein to her combos and she is doing fine!

I have a Golden Retriever who has IBD (inflamotoy bowel desease ) . When he gets his flare ups with Dirreah I give him Pumpkin & rice mixed in his food along with some frozen yogurt cubes for a treat. They all work wonders for him. My vet told me Pumpkin can be given to him daily. Although IBD cannot be cured, the ingredients above keep it all under control. Who would have ever thought Pumpkin would be so helpful for him.

Pumpkin is awesome and veterinarian recommended.... However the dose is specific to the dog's size. 1 tablespoon probably too much for a daily dose. Reason is pumpkin contains many vitamins and minerals some of which can be dangerous in high doses.

Pumpkin also may not be good for pets with certain underlying medical conditions.... diabetes for example.

Be very careful and ask your vet please.
