Pumpkin and Bentonite Clay for Puppy Diarrhea

We have a 12 week old Ridgeback and we were a little too liberal with the yogurt (and it had cane sugar, probably not the best) in filling his Toppl, this resulted in very squirty bowel movements and a distressed pup. We used about one "tablespoon"--aka the next one up from a breakfast cereal spoon--of plain, pureed pumpkin. No sweeteners, no spices. NOT canned pie filling. We mixed that with Maybe a quarter teaspoon of bentonite and fed it by itself, no rice or chicken (just didn't have any handy). Within two hours we were halfway there, his stool started squirty and then came out just soft. So we gave the same again. His next bowel movement looked great! I want to emphasise we knew this was not likely to viral or bacterial as we had been using the Toppl lots to distract and give him food puzzles for brain work.

If you have just these two handy and furbaby just ate too much rich foods, give it a try!

Our 1-year-old Cockapoo developed foamy diarrhea after a visit to the dog park. We waited three days to treat her thinking the issue would resolve itself. Finally we decided she needed help and turned to Earth clinic.

We gave her 1/4 tsp pureed pumpkin from a can, 4 ounces of organic chicken, and 1/4 tsp of bentonite clay dissolved in 2 Tablespoons of water. After two meals the diarrhea had completely subsided and her stools were well formed. It has been five days now and there have been no further problems. Thank you Earth Clinic!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Treating Calf Scour

I have come across several farmers who have been using traditionally fermented and unpasteurised cider vinegar to treat scour in young calves. Calves are given 10 ml of cider vinegar in their milk feed twice a day from when they are a week or so old. The treatment is maintained for one month. Look for traditionally slow fermented cider vinegar.

Pumpkin for Diarrhea in Cat

The pet store recommended a can of pumpkin that they sold. I gave it to my cat with diarrhea for one week at least once a day with her dry cat food until the can was gone. It did absolutely nothing. I agree that how is a laxative type product supposed to mend diarrhea?

Pumpkin and White Rice Cured Diarrhea in My Dog

I woke up to a mess in my house two days ago from my 8 year old German Shepard mix. He had a case of the runs and it was everywhere! He never gets sick so I didn't think anything of it, just picked it up and went on with the day like normal. Well the next morning, same surprise. I checked out this website and low and behold saw the pumpkin and rice suggestion. Since I had both, I tried that. Gave him about 1/2 c of rice mixed with about 2 tablespoons of pure pumpkin puree. Added in some probiotics and 1/2 clove of crushed garlic for good measure. Repeated the rice and pumpkin only 3 more time throughout the day. This morning, NOTHING! I am so thankful, that I didn't have to spend another morning scrubbing poop. My dog feels much better, THANKS EVERYONE!!

Kaopectate for diarrhea: I have two Chihuahuas and my little 5 lb. One (Boo boo) gets runny stools a lot. I give her a syringe full (the kind you squirt in the mouth) and just squirt it down her throat and she's usually better within a half hour. Works every time!

My yorkie was having diahrrea for two days, she was energetic no fever and rubbing her butt on the ground. I read on this site about boiling chicken, no seasoning, rice and pumpkin purée. I gave my 4 month old yorkie one part chicken, two parts white rice and one part pumpkin purée. Within 24 hours my yorkie was having firm bowel movement.

Yay! Thank you for posting these great helps! We avoided poking and prodding at the vet and prescription that may or may not have worked.

Boiled Chicken and Pumpkin Puree for Diarrhea

The boiled chicken, pumpkin and rice is a winner! Our dog (a GWP) had extremely loose bowels for a week and was messing everywhere! Unsure why and how he got it... Anyway, after boiling up a chicken, cooking pumpkin and rice, we started to feed him small amounts. Within 24 hours he had started to firm up and then in 4 days was completely back to normal. Very impressed earth clinic. Thanks.

We have a Pitbull who has a very sensitive digestive system. After a couple of bouts of bloody diarrhea (about 6 mos. apart) and $600 vet bills, I came across this website when the third bout happened. Ran out to the store and purchased canned pumpkin, rice and a couple of chicken breasts. Within 30 min. his stools were visibly more normal - no blood and formed instead of water. A few hours later, he was acting like his normal self again. Kept him on the pumpkin for another day and did the rice and chicken for a few days before incorporating his regular diet into it. I swear by it!! The vet had put him on steroids, given him a prescription diarrhea med. and told us to feed him chicken and rice - all for $600 and I don't believe that steroids are healthy at all.

Can't tell you how many remedies I've gotten from EarthClinic, including organic apple cider vinegar to remove a wart from my grandchild that nothing else worked on, and they've all worked!!! No wonder BigPharma has gone to such lengths to brainwash us to believe that it's quackery!! Worked 100 years ago - why not today? Thanks much!!

Clay Mixed in Water for Diarrhea In Pets

Karen (Austin, Tx) on 08/26/2013

I use Living Clay - Detox Clay Powder to treat diarrhea with my dogs.

I take about a 1 tsp of clay powder and dissolve in 3-4 tbsp of water (puree consistency). Using a child's medicine spoon I pour the solution down the dogs throat. I tilt the dog's head back open its mouth and pour it in. Keep the dog's head back and stroke his/her throat to engage the swallowing reflex. Repeat for each loose stool, but be sure your pet is drinking plenty of water. You can add a pinch of salt to water to help them retain the water and want to drink more!

Jasmine Rice, Lean Hamburger Meat for Pets With Diarrhea

I am a pet groomer, and have worked for a number of vets, & kennels, as well as with a K-9 trainer. I have had MANY "kids" (of the 4 legged kind! ) many of whom were "abandon, abused, uncared for, unloved, etc. Well u get it. Anyway, a change of food or location, or stress, can MOST certainly cause an awful reaction to your babies digestive system. I found that Jazmine rice (can get it, in micro-boil bags) & boil lean hamburger (can be done in the micro as well, rince once (approx 5 mins) to remove fat. Usually best to feed a bit a couple times, rather than a regular feeding. I SWEAR by this! Truth told, it also will work on YOU! BE Health & Happy!!!

Boiled Chicken and Pumpkin Puree for Dog's Diarrhea

testimonial: The dog had diahreah, & was waking up in the middle of the night. This went on for a few days. The owner quit feeding the dog. The dog started growling at me cause it was hungry. I explained to the owner that the dog's instincts, which it uses to survive, was telling it that it was desperate for food, enough to growl, and it needed to be fed. I showed the website Earthclinic, and the remedy it suggests, pumpkin & boiled chicken. I fed the dog this mixture and the dog, for the first time, slept all night. Problem solved. The dog was fed 2 TBS and a cup of chicken the 1st night. Didn't want to overfeed it. Now the dog is bigger than ever.

"Medicines may have scientific proof to back them up, but big Pharma also has a big motive to do misleading research, money. All DRUGS are poisonous. That's why they say "May cause liver or kidney damage. " as side-effects. Or, "Not for people w/ liver or kidney disease. " or "nephro (kidney)toxicity" or "hepa (liver) toxicity). The liver & kidney filter out poisons. That's their job. Herbs cannot be patented, so no one can make money off them, so no one invests millions into proper scientific research. Medicine takes 1 component of an herb and makes it un-natural, so they can patent it, and charge a lot for it. But the herb was designed for the human body. We co-evolved together. Herbs almost never have side-effects, and healing herbs that are good for you always taste & smell pleasant. To test if a medicine or herb is healthy, chew it & taste it. Taste revolting? Your body knows. You cannot trust the doctors. Trust your own eyes. A vet would have charged a lot of money for some medication to stop up the dog's guts, and it probably wouldn't have worked as well as the proper food (herb).

Just a quick post to report another success. I tried the chicken, rice and pumpkin combo for my siberian husky (8yrs old). She had really watery diarrhea from anxiety over the noise of 4th of July. That went on for 4 days. Once we gave her the pumpkin (2 tbsp every 3 hours) there was good success in less than 24 hrs!!

I started out with just the chicken and rice with no change observed. The key was adding the canned pumpkin (.59 cents!! ) Thanks for the info!

Pasta and Salmon for Dog's Diarrhea

Karin (Cape Coral, Florida) on 05/06/2012

After trying all the usual stuff, I finally found something to cure diarrhea in my foster greyhound. Feed about 1-2 cups pasta (cooked until mushy) with about 2 tablespoons of salmon (cheap canned is fine) and add in 1, 000 mg of L-Glutamine 2x a day. Do not feed anything else until a few days after it completely resolves and then just add in a little of other food until you eventually transition to regular food. It worked in less than 24 hrs. Recipe was in an issue of Celebrating Greys magazine. Good luck

Chicken and Rice for Diarrhea

Dharmah34 (Glace Bay, Nova Scotia (ns)) on 03/04/2012

Hi, I have a 80lb 4 year old Akita that I adopted a year 1/2 ago, I am in the course of changing her diet from commercial brand dog foods to more natural brands one of the symtoms when changing your pets diet is diarrhea which she has as I am writing this post I am waiting for her chicken legs to cool off, now what I find great for my baby is white rice with some chicken, I start of by washing the chicken under cold running water, taking the skin of, then I boil 2 legs of chicken until it is well done, ( make sure your meat is cooked all the way)cool & add to your white rice, I give my kita 1 cup of rice with pieces of chicken in it, however tonight I am just going to take all the meat of the legs & put in with the pot of rice & feed her according.

It works great. I have pumkin which I have'nt tried because the rice& chicken work so well, I am very interested in the cayenne but have'nt used it yet but I hear it heals alot of ailments from cancer to diarrhea, it is even great for us humans. Give this a try & post how well it worked for me it was a mircle. You can use hamburger instead of chicken but make sure you boil it well pour into strainer rinse well under running water. Goodluck I am sure all will be fine. L. O. L from Akita Lover From Cape Breton

Thanks you everybody who suggested pumpkin and rice for diarrhea. My dogs and cats vomited and had diarrhea every time I fed them, and we've been through many foods over the past few months. I fed them home-cooked rice, chicken, and vegetables plus pumpkin and the symptoms were gone within 2 days. My life is so much better now, and so is theirs. thanks. I add flax seed oil or olive oil, too, and oatmeal, fruit, or whatever I have. I make sure I give them the recommended amount of protein:carbs. Life is good.

Bentonite Clay for Cat's Diarrhea

Fiona (Ilford, England) on 01/25/2012

Hi, one of my cats had an awful bout of diarrhea after having some teeth removed at the vets (I suspect the drugs the vet used were too much for my cat's system).

We initially returned to the vet for a remedy/diagnosis (as the diarrhea had blood in it and was mucus-sy) and the vet gave us some harsh chemically smelling concoction.

My cat refused the concoction for his diarrhea and was very stressed when my husband and I tried to administer it. After a day or 2 it occurred to me to try some bentonite clay. I mixed up a solution (a flat tablespoon in a jar of water, leave to absorb, without mixing for at least 20 minutes, then mix)) and offered the cat some of the thicker part of the mix. He licked it all up without hesitation, I offered him more and he took the second dose. This was in the evening. The next day he did a nice healthy poo and was back to his normal self.

Please look into bentonite, green clay and edible clays generally. Thay are SO good for health (human and animal)

Good luck

My dog started have loose stools six days ago, within the last two days it finally stopped. Now it's started again. My Vet told me to give her boiled white rice and boiled hamburger and a tablespoon of Metamucil. I'm going to try the pumpkin mixture for two days then it's back to the Vet. I hope this works.

Pumpkin, White Rice for Dog's Diarrhea

I have a 80 lbs Goldendoodle who had diarrhea for about 4 days. He would go 4 to 5 times a day and I wasn't home all the time so you can imagine the mess I came home to. After reading some tips on this site I gave my dog a 1/2 cup of white rice and 2 tablespoons of pumkin for dinner then breakfast the next morning. After the dinner meal he pooped a little bit and it was mushy but not liquid runny. The next morning I took him out about 4 hours after he ate and it was 98% solid. I will continue to give him this for another meal and add white rice and pumkin to his food a couple times a week.

Pumpkin for Diarrhea

My puppy had ingested some of my older dog's food and caused him to have diarrhea. I have used this site in the past for other remedies for my family and saw that there was a 'pet' tab. I mixed a heaping teaspoon of plain, natural pumpkin in his food and by later that night, he was back to normal.
