Subject: [ferrethealth] Pumpkin Use
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

This topic came up last year about this time. Pumpkin works in 2 ways. The fiber in the pumpkin adds bulk which helps with constipation. It also works for diarrhea in that the fiber absorbs the water in a diarrhea stool, therefore making the stools firmer and preventing some of the water loss. I have used pumpkin for almost 2 years now in my duck soup and I have not had to deal with a hairball, or give any other hairball medication. I like the fact that it is a natural remedy and if you use 1 can to 6 pounds of meat, the carbohydrates it adds to the soup is minimal.
