Exactly my thoughts. It's often stressed on the natural diet lists
I'm on to NOT use pumpkin PIE FILLING, but to only use PLAIN
canned pumpkin, no sugar, no additives of any kind...it's purely
pumkin.
I was also wondering about the whipping cream, I'm relieved to see
that nixed.
So, I'll experiment. I'll let anyone that's interested know if I have as
positive results using pumpkin for *minor* diarrhea in ferrets as I do
for my canines. :-)
