Question
Is the boiled chicken and rice people food or a brand? I keep seeing it in info regarding chronic, extremely loose bowel movements in a 10-month old vet checked boxer. I did just switch to Eagle Pack after an internet search before I found this site and the pumpkin treatment. Do you know if the pumpkin is temporary or long-term. Thanks for any info.

Answer
Boiled chicken and rice is just that- boiled chicken you cook and rice you cook. Not a brand.

The pumpkin is short term to settle the stomach and bowel, keeping foods out to discontinue excess digestion and bowels. It is like baby food to a person with a bleeding ulser- it allows for healing.

Take the baby to a vet. He needs attention. It could be a number of things, and two days or so is too long.

Feed him baby Pedilyte to hydrate him as he can become dehydrated in 24 hours.
