you're welcome =) - glad it helped. i forwarded your comment to my sister, and told her you hadn't yet seen a video of caymus (who i think was absolute perfection - ha ha) - ruclips.net/video/F6MPDwHhvKk/видео.html
I just gave pumpkin to mine for the first time. I didn't even mix it into the food, just plopped it in beside the chicken. And my Mango stopped eating the chicken to eat the pumpkin!
Im panicking cuz my cat is having diarrhea and i cant afford vet bills because im just a broke college student, thank you for this i hope my cat will be okay very soon 😭
hope this does the trick - if it doesn't be sure to get to a vet to help your kitty out. might also be his or her food - or if you have artificial air fresheners - they always cause diarrhea because they're toxic AF.
I just want to say thank GOD for you and this video! My poor cat suffered with vomiting and diarrhea for a few days. While those symptoms finally cleared up, she became constipated. I bought canned pumpkin and mixed a bit with her wet food. The very same night she went to the bathroom, and it was healthy stool that was both soft, yet firm enough to confirm her diarrhea is all gone. Thank the Good Lord for pumpkin and for this video! :D
Great idea! Pumpkin is naturally fibrous. And fiber helps to relieve both constipation and diarrhea. I have 2 cats. One has hard dry stools and the other has pancake batter stools. I’m going to try your pumpkin remedy for both of them. Thanks for sharing!🎃👍
Thank you for this tutorial, now i can just boil pumpkins because we don't have canned pumpkin here. And syringe it, first time my cat tried it she loved it. Now im making it her regular snacc
Pumpkin stopped diarrhea in my kitten. Just get the plain canned pumpkin. Keep some in the fridge for future meals. I freeze some too. I don't want to waste it.
Hi Jenny I really appreciate videos like this because I am visually impaired and I have a very hard time given pills and liquid medicine to my cats. Thank you so much.
I was like, what the heck? How am I going to get pumpkin slurry down my cat without a decent syringe? I had it straight from the can in this little bowl and my cat came up to me like, "whatcha got there?" So, I said, "Here. Eat." And, he actually ate it! All but a drop, and he's a picky eater. I put the rest in some of his can. LOL. The end.
I love it "I am going to put him down, (pause) a quick fix for diarrhea" The cat probably shit itself when it heard this! Now I can't eat pancakes, bad association. But great idea! Never knew! Great video!
@@Floppycats that is true. I make a homemade dog food for my dogs and I always steam the veggies. Pumpkin often makes it in the mix but the prep time should be considered
@@barbaramullins4233 yes - if you are preparing large amounts of veggies and fruits - then makes sense to buy one and go to that effort - but in my case, i just need 3 ml pretty quick - so wouldn't be worth all the time, water, gas, electricity and my time to go to that effort.
you're welcome - i hope it does too - if he doesn't have chronic diarrhea, should do the trick. might need 1-2 more doses - but if it continues after that, i'd go to the vet.
@@Floppycats Thanks :) I think she has chronic since it's been about 5 days but the vet gave me a bunch of antibiotics so I'm just trying to not make her suffer any longer with it!
Thanks for this. I couldn't get a syringe last night. So I wiped Authority Pumpkin Purre for cats on my 14 year old cats paws, and he licked it off. He hates pumpkin. I used it for constipation though. 24 hours and he finally pooped 5 good healthy poops. So relieved.
so smart about the paws - i do that when my cats won't try a new food. wow!! 5 poops! have you had her blood taken recently? as cats age, constipation becomes an issue when kidneys are not functioning fully. of course, my cats are 9 and don't go daily, but i think it's gastrointestinal as blood work comes out OK.
I took him to the vet. Labwork came back fine. But he was fully constipated. The prescribed him Lactulose, 1ml twice a day. He eats one can of Sheba wet food watered down and then free feeds on Simply Nourish dry food. The vet told me he needs to lose weight. He needs to eat mostly watered down wet cat food, and only a small portion of dry. So I ordered Fromm Gold Senior dry cat food and Tiki Cat Velvet Senior pouches. My own preference from research. Not in the mail yet. He weights 22lbs. He is 14 years old. But he's also a tall long cat. His fat hangs sags and sways, rather than him being round and bloated looking. I read on the Fromm dry to feed 3/4 cup once a day. And I guess I'll give him 1 to 2 pouches of wet food. I've been giving him probiatic caplets powder on his wet food. And an ice cube of diluted pumkin microwaved. He eats the pumpkin of it is microwaved, and has probiatic powder mixed in. I then poor it into the Sheba wet food and mix. Eats it all.
@@eightbitjones if he likes wet food and needs to lose weight, my bet is that if you remove the dry - you will not have constipation issues and he'll lose weight. check out catinfo.org.
My cat had chronic diarrhea just like that. Turns how she's allergic to chicken. She had her first solid poop the day after she started a chicken - free food and has been fine ever since.
She's a foster that we're adopting. She came to my house already having diarrhea. I spent two months trying a few different foods and some made her poop less but it was still like pudding. Some gave her explosive diarrhea and made her look unwell in her face. She'd just laid around all day and her booty was red and sore. I started reading about food allergies and intolerances in cats and realized that every single food I had given her all had chicken in them. And the foods with less protein like 30% gave her pudding poop. But the foods with a higher amount of protein like 40-50% gave her the explosive diarrhea. So I went to petsmart and read every label and only found 2 different bags of cat food that didn't have any chicken in them, whole chicken or chicken meal. So I bought one, Halo sensitive stomach, and only gave that to her. Within 12 hours she had her first solid poop! And she's continued to have solid bowel movements since. Her booty isn't sore anymore and she's alert and perky all the time. And her dry, scruffy brittle hair is finally getting some softness and a sheen to it. She'd been in shelters for a few months before we got her as a foster. I think she's been sick for a while from eating chicken based food for a long time. She was so scruffy looking, more like an opossum than a cat. Nobody ever caught on that she was having issues at the two shelters she was at.
This stray kitten I found have been vomiting and diarrhea few times over the night, so I withhold food for few hours and only give him water every 20 minutes. Vet are too far away from the village ;;;. In the morning I gave him puree boiled pumpkin mix with wet food. He's not pooping a lot like yesterday, stop throwing up, and look more lively ;w; I hope this works 🍀
My senior cat (12-14 years)has diarrhea issues and she won't eat pumpkin but will eat sweet potato which is another option for stopping diarrhea. If I don't have any sweet potato in the house I'll buy organic baby food BUT make sure it is only sweet potato, many manufacturers add onion or garlic to the sweet potato and other nasty stuff. If I have it handy I'll mash up the cooked sweet potato with the cat food and she will eat it. Currently getting her off chicken and transitioning her to rabbit to see if that will help her. Vet suggested the "exotic" type of foods lamb, rabbit, etc. Fingers crossed, it is a very slow process.
Super helpful & brilliant video, Jenny & Amy! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this one!!! Great job Ash-man!!! Have this one bookmarked for future use, if needed. Big hugs & lots of love!! :)
I'm hoping pumpkin will help with hairballs for my cat. He's really picky so I really hope I won't need to use the syringe, he hates it :( Thanks for the video, and thumbs up for the gentle approach!
So our little Jack hasn't been with us an entire year yet and we got him and his sister at 10 weeks old and at first he didn't poop pancake batter and a month or two after being with us it started. He messed in one of the bedrooms, the bathtub once twice in one night, and obviously the litterbox. Yucky. He never lost weight or stopped eating. We tried some different foods and nothing helped. I'm ashamed to say I was worried the vet may not be able to help with no other symptoms. Watched your video and tried it. It was pretty much instant and the poops stopped from about 3 tbs over two days worth of his food. I would say it stops his poop for about two to three weeks and then if I don't do it again it comes back. This definitely helped keep my mind at ease till we get to the vet for his neutering. We've used two ice cubes worth of organic pumpkin in his food and he had normal kitty poops after. I praise you two for making this video and so does Jack jack.
YAY!! I was with my sister last night when I got this comment, so I shared it with her. so glad it has helped. As far as the ongoing problem - there might be more to investigate - like diet, or toxins in the home like glade or airwick or bath and body works artificial air fresheners?
Your help eating it would've been welcome because my husband isn't a huge fan. You sure have a beautiful monster cat there. For my kitty, I'm breaking open Metamucil capsules and mixing it with a little canned food (after doing lots of research to make sure it's safe, of course), so hopefully that will help her.
Que gatitos ragdoll tan bonitos tienes y que bien los cuidas, Yo acabo de descubrir esta raza, tengo una gatita de 5 meses y medio y es una preciosidad, tiene la llama blanca en su cara y es súper sociable, duerme conmigo, me da mucha paz , gracias por tus vídeos, se nota que te gusta mucho esta raza y tus gatitos
What cat would willingly eat pumpkin?? . . . My cat! When my cat Scooter had diarrhea we would give him canned pumpkin, we let him smell it on the spoon and to our surprise he ate it right off the spoon. He loved it! When it was time to give him some he'd get so excited!
apparently a lot - since i made this video many readers have told me that their cats will eat pumpkin mixed in with food - mine won't even do that. that is awesome about scooter - made your life easier!
I tried it for my cat with loose stools and she ate it all happily. I also gave it to my boy, he has no bowel problems but he ate it as well, all of it. I'm actually very surprised.
@@Floppycats I'm going to try it. I have a new rescue and her stools have been soft. I've used a few different things (cooked oats have helped, also betonite clay), and this might be a nice alternative. Thanks!
@@Floppycats Thank you. Yes, I'm at that point. The vet knows of the issue and I'm following their basic guidelines. But she seems good so hopefully, as you said, this will finish the job.
Canned pumpkin is not available in my city, can you tell me how to cook fresh pumpkin to feed my kitten because he's suffering from diarrhea due to change in food.
wel i just found a little pot of baby food plain pomkin it's more than ennuf . mixxin it up with a few slices of meat my cat eats it himself . less stress and baby aproved . also norrit in limited amount could be given aswell for intoxication as diarea .
My cats HATE the pumpkin 🤦♀️ I even tried to mix in some treats and only one eats. They all refuses to eat it. It’s funny because I thought of syringe yesterday as well and that works like a charm!
@@Floppycats I didn’t this morning I’m a work for a few hours so no wet food right now. He had bad diarrhea when I first got him as a kit would step in it wash him ugh so stressful I really watch what I feed him all grain free . Yesterday he kept getting worse runnier with no change in eating but he was acting the same
@@chigirllchigirll yes, i think the diarrhea as a kitten thing is pretty common, especially if you get them off of dry food. mine had that problem too. you might look into probiotics - how old is your kitty? here are the probiotics i have mine on - www.floppycats.com/product/adored-beast-love-bugs
this was filmed in dec 2017. even if i asked my sister, she wouldn't recall. she feeds both of her cats the list of foods on this post - www.floppycats.com/ragdoll-cat-addies-story-of-feline-gastrointestinal-eosinophilic-sclerosing-fibroplasia-discovery.html
I have cat liquid stool Flagyl and prebiotic from vet not helping he then suggested pumpkin will try. Now he wants cat start on prednisone my poor boy has lost weight but is eating and acting fine...12 YO.
@@nancya5923 Oh dear, if Flagyl isn't working, I would think the diarrhea is something other than bacterial. I wouldn't continue on Flagyl if it's not working - but ask your vet.
Thanks for this .. Having problems with rescue cat. y friend just suggested to mix it with meat pureee baby food with the pumpkin and he ate it no problem. Hoping it will do the trick.
you're welcome - just be sure to squirt it on their tongue - otherwise, you could get it into their lungs. you also could try mixing it in their favorite canned food - mine won't eat it that way, but many readers report that works for them.
Thank you so much for this video, I've ordered some coming tomorrow. My Ragdoll kitten is 4 months old and has had loose poop since I brought her home 8 weeks ago. Nothing is helping and I don't know what to do. She's on hypoallergenic kibble and can't seem to cope with any wet food. Poached chicken she's okay with but can I give her this and kibble everyday? Her breeder said Mum and Dad are like that and its normal she feeds kibble only!! I've had cats all my life and never seen poop this soft. She's stepping in it in her litter tray (which is huge and emptied as soon as she goes as I'm home all day) Any advice? I adore her and shes healthy and happy but I'm so stressed with cleaning up and bathing. Help!!! 💕
yes, i think pumpkin is good place to start as well as probiotics. sorry - i do know kittens' systems can take awhile to adjust, but the breeder should have recommendations.
Hi.. I tried this. And it really works. So, thank you! Same canned pumpkin. My cat also has pancake batter diarrhea (sorry..) and the ff day his poop became a little more solid after the pumpkin- still soft but it has that elongated shape. How long should I give him pumpkin? Once a day for 2 days? Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Yay! I am glad it is helping. I think some people keep their cat on pumpkin indefinitely, but if the diarrhea isn't clearing up, then I would think that it's a diet issue or you might have toxic glade or airwick or bath and body works or something like that is causing it.
@@Floppycats I’m so happy I saw this video. Yes, it helped so much. Yes, we used a lemon peppermint spray from Trader Joe’s lately. I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you again. 🙏🏼
@@tonijoquico3519 where do you use it? what do you use it on? citrus is not good for cats. i cannot recall if peppermint is either - in general "air fresheners" that mask odors aren't good for cats (or humans), but ones that ionize are ok - ruclips.net/video/WYMQXJThWgk/видео.html - what's your cat's diet?
@@Floppycats I live in a studio apartment in NY so space is limited (understatement haha) so his litter box is not that far from my bed, I clean his box frequently so smell isn’t an issue BUT when times that IT IS an issue unfortunately I spray- last one I sprayed was that lemon peppermint spray from TJs. Never again. 🤦🏻♀️ My cat’s diet is very plain- just seafood flavored kibbles (dry). But from time to time I give him wet canned food. From my observation he didn’t like chicken/beef varieties only seafood (wet or dry food) and so that’s what I always get him. Now for context, he’s been on dry food for months now- With wet food every now and then but ultimately he’s eating more dry cat food. And then I decided to try this canned food from Friskies- Ocean Favorites that has brown rice and peas mixed in with the seafood ingredients (salmon, tuna, scallops, white fish etc) and after 4 cans (that’d be 8 days worth of his meals) he started having pancake batter diarrhea and boy oh boy did I panicked. I always do research first before I go to the doctor or in this case the vet just to see if there’s anything I can do - or probably it’s just me trying to convince myself that he’s fine and that’s when I saw your video. I tried it and it worked on him.
Hi Bill, I am not a veterinarian, so I don't know what to say across the board. I usually give it to mine once a day, but I know how they will react to it and how it will go if it's acute diarrhea.
Thanks for the tip!!! If they'll eat it willingly (I'd hate to put them through a daily wrangling), is it safe to give it to them daily, in their food, to help balance everything out? Also, I'd LOVE any tips/tricks on cleaning the bum after said bout of diarrhea? My two babies' long hair makes it SO difficult to remove poo and any tips or product recommendations would be awesome! I hope that sweet boy Ash is feeling better in no time!!!
Are you subscribed to our website? I might try to do a post about how to clean their bums after diarrhea - but probably can't do a video...only because I am too focused on getting it off of my cats, so it doesn't get all over the house - than waiting for my sister to come over and film, etc. also, my way of getting it off might not be the best, so i might do a reader tip one on that.
Floppycats Floppycats Yes! My babies LOVE the Weruva with Pumpkin! I only feed Weruva and Soulistic (they're picky). I'm going to try mixing some pumpkin in to help prevent any tummy issues! Thanks for all of your help with this breed!
Floppycats I'm not sure if I'm subscribed but I'll head over. I TOTALLY get not being able to film. My female Ragdoll has a more delicate tummy and when I first adopted her and her brother she had a TON of tummy issues. Her previous owner was feeding them crap catfood (I mean HORRIBLE) and, while I found the food that worked for them, her tummy issues were pretty frequent. We're at a good place now but those first few diarrhea episodes were MESSY! Haha! I LOVE their long hair until they have poop running down their legs! I felt TERRIBLE having to wash down her backside in the sink after she was already a bit traumatised (her owner died and she clung to the hospital bed as they wheeled it out of the apartment....SO sad)! Any tips on products would be awesome! I purchased cat bum wipes, multiple shampoos etc and the wipes were a BUST. Haha! Jenny, thanks again for being my go-to for Ragdoll info! You're the best!
Do you stop his food. I have firm up powered pumpkin product. It’s especially made for cats my cat is being transitional to another food he not getting diarrhea it’s a little softer I want to give it to him just to avoid the diarrhea i
i'm not familiar with the firm up powered pumpkin. no, i do not stop their food - but certainly don't give them more of the food that started the diarrhea if it did.
This is interesting. I have two cats that have been having a loose stool problem for a while. There isn't any sign of worms but it's about time to treat them again. If this doesn't help them I will try this too. Otherwise time for a vet I guess.
yes, could be a number of problems 1. food they're on, 2. environmental factors - like toxic glade, airwick, bath & body "air fresheners" cause chronic diarrhea. this pumpkin is for an acute problem that arises, not a chronic one.
@@Floppycats Thank you for the information. I'm guessing it could be because we switched foods a few times. I never use air fresheners or even perfume in the house. They are outside in the daytime so they could be eating something I'm not aware of.
@@DeIicateFynn yes, if you read through these comments - this video is now 3 years old - and many people have reported that their cats eat pumpkin willingly. weird. i have not met one yet.
Hello! How much ml would u recommend per day? How many days? Per feeding? Pls reply fast T-T, the kitten I rescued, is having diarrhea and i can't afford a vet
I wouldn't know for a kitten. A kitten might have worms, so that's the reason for the diarrhea, not this. Search on the kitten lady's channel for diarrhea and see what she recommends. I found one with a quick search - ruclips.net/video/ErX9rQwTlQ0/видео.html - "kitten lady diarrhea"
Thanks for the info on the pumpkin. I didn't know it would stop diarrhea. Good info to have. One more question please--I just bought the J.Galaxy Base Camp Combo. I took it out if the box and carrying case but for the life of me I cannot get it to form into the rectangular box!! It just sits there curved by the shape of the wires inside. They won't straighten themselves out. Is there a trick to this?? I sure can't figure it out. Help please. Thanks. Phyllis
Phyllis - I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the Jackson Galaxy Base Camp and asking them - I wouldn't know what to tell you without just trying to jack around with it. You could also see if there are RUclips videos that show you.
I noticed my cat had diarrhea about 10 days ago. How often and how long should I give this pumpkin slurry to my cat? Once or twice a day for several days? Please let me know, thanks. She had normal poop last week and her diarrhea came back yesterday.
i am not a veterinarian. i cannot tell you what to do with your cat. but when it's my cat, i just give this to them until diarrhea clears up - usually takes one dose - if it takes more than 3 doses, then we go to the vet. if i were you, i would be more concerned why diarrhea is returning - do you have plugin-air fresheners? scented litter?
Thanks for the prompt reply. No, I don't have plugin-air fresheners nor scented litter. I will try Fortiflora (probiotics) and if it didn't work then I will take my cat to the vet. Thank you.
I think it's ml - but just have your vet show you...I go by gut instinct. And even if I were to tell you it's 2.5 ml, then you might have a different amount of pumpkin too...

Try pumpkin if your cat have constipation my cat didn't poop for 5 days but yesterday ni8 i gave him boiled smashed pumpkin he ate it well today morning he pooped i am so happy he was one year old.5 days ago he was suffering from uti and bloody urine if your cat have uti (urinary tract infection) gave them 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 teaspoon of water or borth if they not drink it syringe feed then and give more water and contact your vet immediately when i visit vet in first day he was not there so i gave him this in emergency its worked bloody urine was stopped but he didn't go pee like normal in that day 2 times he peed normaly but in couch if they suffer from uti then they pass urine in floor ,couch in front of you if they behave like this then pet owners should check him.... he was offten vist his litter box and passed pee then next day morning we get him to vet he gave him injection then he was OK i visit vet for 2 days and he gave him 4 injection in 2 days he was alright now.........in summer your cat can dehydrated easily so gave them wet food or can food try to avoid dry food......dry food can cause uti offten gave them pumpkin puree,gave them more water if u feed dry food measure the water and check frequently how much they drink and play them stress relief music's play with them and spent time with them and they were hide in uti so don't disturb them just gave him water and chicken borth if they didn't drink syringe feed then they need more rest so don't disturb them gave them fan or ac don't let your furry best friend suffer......thankyou🤗dont worry everything going to be OK...
Cats dislike apple cider vinegar (ACV) because of its smell. If ingested in undiluted form, some cats may have diarrhea and vomiting. A non-diluted version of ACV can be abrasive to a kitten's tender skin. Some cats may have allergies to ACV, which may lead to itching and rashes.
Anyone know how much pumpkin I give my 5 week old rodent..just kidding, kitten lol I just started weaning him to fancy feast kitten food so I think the diarreah is from the change of food.
I need advice!!! My cat has had diarreah for 2 weeks, i just gave him canned pumpkin today and now he is pooping on himself and everywhere he walks!! Hes not acting sick, but it still worries me. I also have NO vet money.
i would take my cat to the vet if that was going on. pumpkin is not a long term remedy, especially for a sick cat. sick cats hide their sickness. how old is your cat? what does it eat? has anything changed in your environment in the last 2 weeks - like artificial air fresheners, new detergent, etc?
@@Floppycats he just turned 1 on may 27th. About 2 weeks ago we bought cat food that had dog food mixed in it. They ate it for 2 days before we changed it. I have 3 cats, they all have diarreah, but one of them, the oldest cat, her stool is becoming more solid now. They act as normal as they always do, they still eat normal and play. I feed them dry food with wet food mixes twice a day, but I have cut back on the wet food for a week now. I just today gave them canned pumpkin, and my boy cat, the 1 yr old, is leaking everywhere. About 10 minutes ago I checked on him and there is no leaking.
@@Floppycats I unfortunately dont have $200 for a vet, my family thinks he may have worms so i wormed him a week ago, and then said he might have a parasite, or may have gotton a UTI.
@@JxRocs My guess is feeding them dog food caused it. But yes, would be wise to take him to the vet - self treating him - like for worms can end up killing him.
@@Floppycats today i fed them boiled pumpkin,one of my kitten loved it,other one licked it but not so into it, i again mixed the lefover with treat and again fed them,they both loved it..nothing left behind..happy that i dont need to force feed..just wish it works on my kitten in thickening the stool.wish me luck🤗🤗
@@Floppycats You can probably find pumpkin powder in a store that specializes in vitamins and wellness products, You should be able to find pumpkin products specifically made for cats. But I'm pretty sure you could just make some yourself. I just go with organic pumpkin powder I started off with small amounts in wet food and worked my way up to the desired amount. Unless your cat really dislikes pumpkin it shouldn't really notice the change.
@@frootneinger2291 thanks. yes, there are pumpkin products in pet stores, but i would rather just use organic plain. unfortunately, though, i doubt it'll work for mine - they can detect pumpkin in their very favorite food when i mix in a tiny amount!
@@Floppycats Organic is always the best way for sure there may be other ways to get the benefits of pumpkin in something else that your cat might tolerate I'm no dietician though , But I have read something about canned pumpkin which said it may contain a lot of sodium so you may want to check the labels to make sure you aren't giving your cat too much of that.
@@frootneinger2291 thanks, i will check again - but pretty sure it's just pumpkin....yep, just checked - pumpkin only 5mg of sodium which must naturally occur in pumpkin because pumpkin is the only ingredient listed?
ANYTHING?? Get him to the vet! Cats can’t go that long without eating. Try sardines in water - like from Whole Foods or Natural Grocers. Not the ones in salt. But he has to eat - they get fatty liver disease if they don’t eat.
@@Floppycats he is drinking water. and he is eating now but just little. i gave him medicine which the vet prescribed when he was sick too when he was a kitten. i cannot go to vet now, i have no money, im having financial crisis 😭 that's why i cry everyday if he ignores me and don't eat 😭 but i hope he will be okay :(

you're welcome =) - glad it helped. i forwarded your comment to my sister, and told her you hadn't yet seen a video of caymus (who i think was absolute perfection - ha ha) - ruclips.net/video/F6MPDwHhvKk/видео.html
@@Floppycats lol!!! This really helped my own cat. Thank you!
My cat loves the organic pumpkin. I give it to the dogs and he will try so hard to get it. He’s a weird cat but I’m happy he loves it
that's super lucky!
I just gave pumpkin to mine for the first time. I didn't even mix it into the food, just plopped it in beside the chicken. And my Mango stopped eating the chicken to eat the pumpkin!
Asti Asti YOU THINK THAT IS WEIRD???
my cat eats yoghurt when I am eating it he jumps on me.....same thing with Nutella and pudding
Im panicking cuz my cat is having diarrhea and i cant afford vet bills because im just a broke college student, thank you for this i hope my cat will be okay very soon 😭
hope this does the trick - if it doesn't be sure to get to a vet to help your kitty out. might also be his or her food - or if you have artificial air fresheners - they always cause diarrhea because they're toxic AF.
How is your cat now?
What's the result?
I just want to say thank GOD for you and this video! My poor cat suffered with vomiting and diarrhea for a few days. While those symptoms finally cleared up, she became constipated. I bought canned pumpkin and mixed a bit with her wet food. The very same night she went to the bathroom, and it was healthy stool that was both soft, yet firm enough to confirm her diarrhea is all gone. Thank the Good Lord for pumpkin and for this video! :D
The term you are searching for might be "slurry" for the pumpkin: water mix, the marks on the syringe are milliliters. You are giving 2.5 ml.
Great idea! Pumpkin is naturally fibrous. And fiber helps to relieve both constipation and diarrhea. I have 2 cats. One has hard dry stools and the other has pancake batter stools. I’m going to try your pumpkin remedy for both of them. Thanks for sharing!🎃👍
Yes. Works both ways for mine!
Thank you for this tutorial, now i can just boil pumpkins because we don't have canned pumpkin here. And syringe it, first time my cat tried it she loved it. Now im making it her regular snacc
Oh good! Many cats love it. It’s super easy to freeze pumpkin in ice cube trays too. 🧊 🎃
Pumpkin stopped diarrhea in my kitten. Just get the plain canned pumpkin. Keep some in the fridge for future meals. I freeze some too. I don't want to waste it.
Is it good for two months kitten ?!
@@minaihdina7173 Yes it works fast
News to me, good to know. Thanks. Hope Ash is feeling better soon. Let us know. Lucilia
This was filmed weeks ago. He is fine, thanks.
Hi Jenny I really appreciate videos like this because I am visually impaired and I have a very hard time given pills and liquid medicine to my cats. Thank you so much.
cool - you're welcome!
I was like, what the heck? How am I going to get pumpkin slurry down my cat without a decent syringe? I had it straight from the can in this little bowl and my cat came up to me like, "whatcha got there?" So, I said, "Here. Eat." And, he actually ate it! All but a drop, and he's a picky eater. I put the rest in some of his can. LOL. The end.
ha ha ha - you're definitely lucky!
Mine didn't and he is hungry😢 but he been having bad d.
I love it "I am going to put him down, (pause) a quick fix for diarrhea" The cat probably shit itself when it heard this! Now I can't eat pancakes, bad association. But great idea! Never knew! Great video!
ha ha ha - sorry about your pancakes - i love chocolate chips, banana and pecan pancakes - maybe you can try that since i've ruined pumpkin for you =)
@@Floppycats Ohhh chocolate chip sounds great! :)
@@AuraDeOnyx they are - just by themselves in a pancake.
You can also buy a small pumpkin ( usually available year round at most markets) peel the outer skin off, cut in cubes and steam.
definitely. the cost might be less in time and energy used with the canned.
@@Floppycats that is true. I make a homemade dog food for my dogs and I always steam the veggies. Pumpkin often makes it in the mix but the prep time should be considered
@@barbaramullins4233 yes - if you are preparing large amounts of veggies and fruits - then makes sense to buy one and go to that effort - but in my case, i just need 3 ml pretty quick - so wouldn't be worth all the time, water, gas, electricity and my time to go to that effort.
0:15 Ash "Ugh, don"t tell them! " lol
My cat loves pumpkin and fruits, and actually just licks the pumpkin paste directly all on his own, makes it easier
that's great - makes it so much easier.
Thank you for this video! Really helpful! Syringed my antsy cat with no issues after watching this. Hopefully it does the trick. Really appreciate it.
you're welcome - i hope it does too - if he doesn't have chronic diarrhea, should do the trick. might need 1-2 more doses - but if it continues after that, i'd go to the vet.
I have several cats that love pumpkin. I give it for a treat/snack
Omg im so glad u posted this vid!!!! Thank you
glad it was helpful to you!
He is so gorgeous what a big floofy gentleman I love him I will try this tomorrow with my siamese *crossing my fingers*
Sheila hope it works for your kitty! It’s only good for acute diarrhea, not chronic. What does your cat have?
@@Floppycats Thanks :) I think she has chronic since it's been about 5 days but the vet gave me a bunch of antibiotics so I'm just trying to not make her suffer any longer with it!
Sheila not following. Vet gave you antibiotics before or after this started?
@@Floppycats Sorry! So Thursday she started having diarrhea, Saturday it hadn't stopped so I took her to the vet and started antibiotics.
Sheila why did vet do that? What happened on Wednesday for it to happen? New food? Stress? New air freshener? Any changes to your home?
Thank you so much 🙏
you're welcome - hope it works for your kitty!
Sprouts has organic pumpkin too 🙏
Yes! Perfect!
Thanks for this. I couldn't get a syringe last night. So I wiped Authority Pumpkin Purre for cats on my 14 year old cats paws, and he licked it off. He hates pumpkin. I used it for constipation though. 24 hours and he finally pooped 5 good healthy poops. So relieved.
so smart about the paws - i do that when my cats won't try a new food. wow!! 5 poops! have you had her blood taken recently? as cats age, constipation becomes an issue when kidneys are not functioning fully. of course, my cats are 9 and don't go daily, but i think it's gastrointestinal as blood work comes out OK.
@@eightbitjones what does he eat? i think it's a 3ml syringe that I give them...but I give it to mine about 5 times a week plus probiotics.
I took him to the vet. Labwork came back fine. But he was fully constipated. The prescribed him Lactulose, 1ml twice a day.
He eats one can of Sheba wet food watered down and then free feeds on Simply Nourish dry food. The vet told me he needs to lose weight. He needs to eat mostly watered down wet cat food, and only a small portion of dry.
So I ordered Fromm Gold Senior dry cat food and Tiki Cat Velvet Senior pouches. My own preference from research. Not in the mail yet.
He weights 22lbs. He is 14 years old. But he's also a tall long cat. His fat hangs sags and sways, rather than him being round and bloated looking. I read on the Fromm dry to feed 3/4 cup once a day. And I guess I'll give him 1 to 2 pouches of wet food.
I've been giving him probiatic caplets powder on his wet food. And an ice cube of diluted pumkin microwaved.
He eats the pumpkin of it is microwaved, and has probiatic powder mixed in. I then poor it into the Sheba wet food and mix. Eats it all.
@@eightbitjones if he likes wet food and needs to lose weight, my bet is that if you remove the dry - you will not have constipation issues and he'll lose weight. check out catinfo.org.
My cat had chronic diarrhea just like that. Turns how she's allergic to chicken. She had her first solid poop the day after she started a chicken - free food and has been fine ever since.
Wonderful. How did you discover she was allergic to chicken?
She's a foster that we're adopting. She came to my house already having diarrhea. I spent two months trying a few different foods and some made her poop less but it was still like pudding. Some gave her explosive diarrhea and made her look unwell in her face. She'd just laid around all day and her booty was red and sore.
I started reading about food allergies and intolerances in cats and realized that every single food I had given her all had chicken in them. And the foods with less protein like 30% gave her pudding poop. But the foods with a higher amount of protein like 40-50% gave her the explosive diarrhea.
So I went to petsmart and read every label and only found 2 different bags of cat food that didn't have any chicken in them, whole chicken or chicken meal. So I bought one, Halo sensitive stomach, and only gave that to her. Within 12 hours she had her first solid poop! And she's continued to have solid bowel movements since. Her booty isn't sore anymore and she's alert and perky all the time. And her dry, scruffy brittle hair is finally getting some softness and a sheen to it.
She'd been in shelters for a few months before we got her as a foster. I think she's been sick for a while from eating chicken based food for a long time. She was so scruffy looking, more like an opossum than a cat. Nobody ever caught on that she was having issues at the two shelters she was at.
@@snowps1 OH!! HOW SAD! BUT HOW COOL that you figured it out and bless you for doing that for her =)
My 6 month old drinks it out of dish. She loves it!
“what cat would willingly eat pumpkin” as i scoop out a spoon of pumpkin and my kitten devours it 😂😂 the guy also loves broccoli so there’s that
ha ha ha - yes, this video is 3.5 years old now and plenty of people have told me that their cats eat pumpkin willingly - must be nice!
Good job, Ashman! And the "high five" was a bonus!!
yes, did you hear amy laugh on that high five?
Yes, I heard her chuckle. :-)
Accurate description is appreciated especially when you have a problem and need specifics.
what is confusing for you?
Thank you!! I’m going to try this with my cat!
Hope it works 🤞
Oh no...hope he feels better :(
This stray kitten I found have been vomiting and diarrhea few times over the night, so I withhold food for few hours and only give him water every 20 minutes. Vet are too far away from the village ;;;. In the morning I gave him puree boiled pumpkin mix with wet food. He's not pooping a lot like yesterday, stop throwing up, and look more lively ;w; I hope this works 🍀
good luck! i hope it does too - but i really have no idea about kittens that young.
My senior cat (12-14 years)has diarrhea issues and she won't eat pumpkin but will eat sweet potato which is another option for stopping diarrhea. If I don't have any sweet potato in the house I'll buy organic baby food BUT make sure it is only sweet potato, many manufacturers add onion or garlic to the sweet potato and other nasty stuff. If I have it handy I'll mash up the cooked sweet potato with the cat food and she will eat it. Currently getting her off chicken and transitioning her to rabbit to see if that will help her. Vet suggested the "exotic" type of foods lamb, rabbit, etc. Fingers crossed, it is a very slow process.
hope that works for her too! the diarrehea could come from other things like air fresheners in the house...
Super helpful & brilliant video, Jenny & Amy! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this one!!! Great job Ash-man!!! Have this one bookmarked for future use, if needed. Big hugs & lots of love!! :)
I'm hoping pumpkin will help with hairballs for my cat. He's really picky so I really hope I won't need to use the syringe, he hates it :(
Thanks for the video, and thumbs up for the gentle approach!
So our little Jack hasn't been with us an entire year yet and we got him and his sister at 10 weeks old and at first he didn't poop pancake batter and a month or two after being with us it started. He messed in one of the bedrooms, the bathtub once twice in one night, and obviously the litterbox. Yucky. He never lost weight or stopped eating. We tried some different foods and nothing helped. I'm ashamed to say I was worried the vet may not be able to help with no other symptoms. Watched your video and tried it. It was pretty much instant and the poops stopped from about 3 tbs over two days worth of his food. I would say it stops his poop for about two to three weeks and then if I don't do it again it comes back. This definitely helped keep my mind at ease till we get to the vet for his neutering. We've used two ice cubes worth of organic pumpkin in his food and he had normal kitty poops after. I praise you two for making this video and so does Jack jack.
YAY!! I was with my sister last night when I got this comment, so I shared it with her. so glad it has helped.
As far as the ongoing problem - there might be more to investigate - like diet, or toxins in the home like glade or airwick or bath and body works artificial air fresheners?
I wish I'd seen this sooner. I couldn't get the cat to eat the pumpkin, so I had to make a pie with it.
ha ha ha - i would help you eat that pie!
Your help eating it would've been welcome because my husband isn't a huge fan. You sure have a beautiful monster cat there. For my kitty, I'm breaking open Metamucil capsules and mixing it with a little canned food (after doing lots of research to make sure it's safe, of course), so hopefully that will help her.
Que gatitos ragdoll tan bonitos tienes y que bien los cuidas, Yo acabo de descubrir esta raza, tengo una gatita de 5 meses y medio y es una preciosidad, tiene la llama blanca en su cara y es súper sociable, duerme conmigo, me da mucha paz , gracias por tus vídeos, se nota que te gusta mucho esta raza y tus gatitos
Congratulations on your new little one! And yes my website, Floppycats.com is dedicated to Ragdoll cat lovers around the world.
What cat would willingly eat pumpkin?? . . . My cat! When my cat Scooter had diarrhea we would give him canned pumpkin, we let him smell it on the spoon and to our surprise he ate it right off the spoon. He loved it! When it was time to give him some he'd get so excited!
apparently a lot - since i made this video many readers have told me that their cats will eat pumpkin mixed in with food - mine won't even do that. that is awesome about scooter - made your life easier!
I tried it for my cat with loose stools and she ate it all happily. I also gave it to my boy, he has no bowel problems but he ate it as well, all of it. I'm actually very surprised.
that's awesome that they ate it on their own. how did it work on loose stool kitty?
@@Floppycats I’m impressed. It was more solid, but not dry, just solid but a little soft. I’m incorporating pumpkin in their diet. Thank you!
@@karinamatos4253 yay! hooray for pumpkin!
Interesting. I'd never have thought of pumpkin for diarrhea.
it can be a life saver
@@Floppycats I'm going to try it. I have a new rescue and her stools have been soft. I've used a few different things (cooked oats have helped, also betonite clay), and this might be a nice alternative. Thanks!
@@mellow5123 i hope this does the trick - usually will unless there's a bigger problem going on.
@@Floppycats Thank you. Yes, I'm at that point. The vet knows of the issue and I'm following their basic guidelines. But she seems good so hopefully, as you said, this will finish the job.
@@mellow5123 fingers crossed!
Canned pumpkin is not available in my city, can you tell me how to cook fresh pumpkin to feed my kitten because he's suffering from diarrhea due to change in food.
i would think so, but i am not a vet. if you cook it - then you need to puree it. a kitten might eat pumpkin mixed in it's favorite food.
So cool!
My cat has diahera for week and she just give birth few days ago 🙏🕋🕯️📿🤲🕊️
Ah! Try the green Italian pumpkin!!!
ha ha ha. we don't get that over here.
Why did the cat have diarrhea in the first place? What was the cause?
not sure - since he's not my cat. but usually it's either food related or stress related.
"What cat would willingly eat pumpkin" scared me...offered it straight to my kittens and they devoured it happily!
Lacey Preston haven’t found a cat yet who will willingly. So glad you have a few.
You are SO fortunate. My poor babies hate everything. Makes it so much tougher to give them remedies the easy way.
Same here. All 3 of my kittens nearly stole the gerber baby pumpkin container out of my hand. I used the pure pumpkin and water baby food.
wel i just found a little pot of baby food plain pomkin it's more than ennuf .
mixxin it up with a few slices of meat my cat eats it himself .
less stress and baby aproved .
also norrit in limited amount could be given aswell for intoxication as diarea .
super - so glad you found something that works for you. mine won't eat pumpkin at all, so i have to syringe - that's what i am used to.
My cats HATE the pumpkin 🤦♀️ I even tried to mix in some treats and only one eats. They all refuses to eat it. It’s funny because I thought of syringe yesterday as well and that works like a charm!
sorry yours hates it - mine do too - so we syringe almost every morning.
I put some on both paws he had no choice but to lick it off ! I hope he’s better
ha ha ha - i used to do that until they started to flick it off! then pumpkin was everywhere. i hope he's better too.
@@Floppycats I really pressed it on both paws a few times definitely a few flicks!
@@chigirllchigirll it’s a wise tactic. Glad it worked for you
@@Floppycats I didn’t this morning I’m a work for a few hours so no wet food right now. He had bad diarrhea when I first got him as a kit would step in it wash him ugh so stressful I really watch what I feed him all grain free . Yesterday he kept getting worse runnier with no change in eating but he was acting the same
@@chigirllchigirll yes, i think the diarrhea as a kitten thing is pretty common, especially if you get them off of dry food. mine had that problem too. you might look into probiotics - how old is your kitty? here are the probiotics i have mine on - www.floppycats.com/product/adored-beast-love-bugs
Hi can I feed kitten of 2 months with diarrhea with fresh pumpkin puree ?
sorry, i don't know for sure whether or not to tell you
@@Floppycats is okay ☺️ she is all better now.
What was the name of the food you gave after you realize chicken was cussing the diarrhea?
Mine has diarrhea and I’m going through bags of food
this was filmed in dec 2017. even if i asked my sister, she wouldn't recall. she feeds both of her cats the list of foods on this post - www.floppycats.com/ragdoll-cat-addies-story-of-feline-gastrointestinal-eosinophilic-sclerosing-fibroplasia-discovery.html
I have cat liquid stool Flagyl and prebiotic from vet not helping he then suggested pumpkin will try.
Now he wants cat start on prednisone my poor boy has lost weight but is eating and acting fine...12 YO.
did they run bloodwork? Flagyl didn't work?!
@@Floppycats yes BW no Flagyl not helping no parasites.
@@nancya5923 Oh dear, if Flagyl isn't working, I would think the diarrhea is something other than bacterial. I wouldn't continue on Flagyl if it's not working - but ask your vet.
@@nancya5923 Do you have any plug-in air fresheners? How long has your kitty had liquid stool?
@@Floppycats since Feb think go to different vet clinic.
I have plug in but not plugged in.
Thank you😍
Thanks for this .. Having problems with rescue cat. y friend just suggested to mix it with meat pureee baby food with the pumpkin and he ate it no problem. Hoping it will do the trick.
super - i hope it does the trick - mine won't eat it mixed into ANYTHING.
Raising Vibes Wellness worked almost immediately. 😊Was so relieved. Was giving up hope ,
Floppycats it was the baby food. It’s like crack for kitties. 🙄
@@Laura-pu8yp for some - not for mine, unfortunately!
@@Laura-pu8yp wonderful!
Oh Thank gosh! My poor kitty! 🐱
you're welcome - just be sure to squirt it on their tongue - otherwise, you could get it into their lungs. you also could try mixing it in their favorite canned food - mine won't eat it that way, but many readers report that works for them.
@@Floppycats
U know what my kitty just ate it all just the pumpkin 😂
@@sylvia3097 that's great - some will! some will mixed in with food - mine won't - so have to syringe it
Hello dear. I just want to ask if it’s okay to mixed the pumpkin and yoghurt? Thank you and greetings from Philippines.
Think so 🤷♀️. Ask your vet 😊
My cat got sick because of a sardine.
It was a real mess to clean up.
bummer - that sucks.
Very good to know! Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you mam so much bez my cat also it is fine now
Wonderful! Glad to hear it!
Haha, "pancake batter".. a funny word..
My cats just eat it from their bowl...
That’s great! Makes it easy
@@Floppycats for sure.. I was so happy when they both liked pumpkin puree, especially the one that has wheatgrass in it. Blessings 🍂
You ain’t have to describe it so vividly 😐
ha ha ha - should i show it next time instead?
I was able to give my cat some pumpkin tonight because of your video. Thanks so much!
you're welcome - hope it does the trick =)
ty so much
Thank you so much for this video, I've ordered some coming tomorrow. My Ragdoll kitten is 4 months old and has had loose poop since I brought her home 8 weeks ago. Nothing is helping and I don't know what to do. She's on hypoallergenic kibble and can't seem to cope with any wet food. Poached chicken she's okay with but can I give her this and kibble everyday? Her breeder said Mum and Dad are like that and its normal she feeds kibble only!! I've had cats all my life and never seen poop this soft. She's stepping in it in her litter tray (which is huge and emptied as soon as she goes as I'm home all day) Any advice? I adore her and shes healthy and happy but I'm so stressed with cleaning up and bathing. Help!!! 💕
yes, i think pumpkin is good place to start as well as probiotics. sorry - i do know kittens' systems can take awhile to adjust, but the breeder should have recommendations.
Hi.. I tried this. And it really works. So, thank you!
Same canned pumpkin. My cat also has pancake batter diarrhea (sorry..) and the ff day his poop became a little more solid after the pumpkin- still soft but it has that elongated shape.
How long should I give him pumpkin? Once a day for 2 days? Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Yay! I am glad it is helping.
I think some people keep their cat on pumpkin indefinitely, but if the diarrhea isn't clearing up, then I would think that it's a diet issue or you might have toxic glade or airwick or bath and body works or something like that is causing it.
@@Floppycats I’m so happy I saw this video. Yes, it helped so much. Yes, we used a lemon peppermint spray from Trader Joe’s lately. I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you again. 🙏🏼
@@tonijoquico3519 where do you use it? what do you use it on? citrus is not good for cats. i cannot recall if peppermint is either - in general "air fresheners" that mask odors aren't good for cats (or humans), but ones that ionize are ok - ruclips.net/video/WYMQXJThWgk/видео.html - what's your cat's diet?
@@tonijoquico3519 hi did you keep feeding them pumpkin after the second day? or jusr once. thank you.
@@Floppycats I live in a studio apartment in NY so space is limited (understatement haha) so his litter box is not that far from my bed, I clean his box frequently so smell isn’t an issue BUT when times that IT IS an issue unfortunately I spray- last one I sprayed was that lemon peppermint spray from TJs. Never again. 🤦🏻♀️
My cat’s diet is very plain- just seafood flavored kibbles (dry). But from time to time I give him wet canned food. From my observation he didn’t like chicken/beef varieties only seafood (wet or dry food) and so that’s what I always get him.
Now for context, he’s been on dry food for months now- With wet food every now and then but ultimately he’s eating more dry cat food. And then I decided to try this canned food from Friskies- Ocean Favorites that has brown rice and peas mixed in with the seafood ingredients (salmon, tuna, scallops, white fish etc) and after 4 cans (that’d be 8 days worth of his meals) he started having pancake batter diarrhea and boy oh boy did I panicked.
I always do research first before I go to the doctor or in this case the vet just to see if there’s anything I can do - or probably it’s just me trying to convince myself that he’s fine and that’s when I saw your video. I tried it and it worked on him.
How often should you give it to your cat? Once or twice a day?
Hi Bill, I am not a veterinarian, so I don't know what to say across the board. I usually give it to mine once a day, but I know how they will react to it and how it will go if it's acute diarrhea.
Thanks for the tip!!! If they'll eat it willingly (I'd hate to put them through a daily wrangling), is it safe to give it to them daily, in their food, to help balance everything out? Also, I'd LOVE any tips/tricks on cleaning the bum after said bout of diarrhea? My two babies' long hair makes it SO difficult to remove poo and any tips or product recommendations would be awesome! I hope that sweet boy Ash is feeling better in no time!!!
I've seen a few high end cat foods with pumpkin as one of the many ingredients.
yes - weruva makes one - my cats won't eat it!
Are you subscribed to our website? I might try to do a post about how to clean their bums after diarrhea - but probably can't do a video...only because I am too focused on getting it off of my cats, so it doesn't get all over the house - than waiting for my sister to come over and film, etc. also, my way of getting it off might not be the best, so i might do a reader tip one on that.
Floppycats Floppycats Yes! My babies LOVE the Weruva with Pumpkin! I only feed Weruva and Soulistic (they're picky). I'm going to try mixing some pumpkin in to help prevent any tummy issues! Thanks for all of your help with this breed!
Floppycats I'm not sure if I'm subscribed but I'll head over. I TOTALLY get not being able to film. My female Ragdoll has a more delicate tummy and when I first adopted her and her brother she had a TON of tummy issues. Her previous owner was feeding them crap catfood (I mean HORRIBLE) and, while I found the food that worked for them, her tummy issues were pretty frequent. We're at a good place now but those first few diarrhea episodes were MESSY! Haha! I LOVE their long hair until they have poop running down their legs! I felt TERRIBLE having to wash down her backside in the sink after she was already a bit traumatised (her owner died and she clung to the hospital bed as they wheeled it out of the apartment....SO sad)! Any tips on products would be awesome! I purchased cat bum wipes, multiple shampoos etc and the wipes were a BUST. Haha! Jenny, thanks again for being my go-to for Ragdoll info! You're the best!
Butternut Squash is similar to Pumpkin, will it work or do I have to use Pumpkin?
I really don't know, sorry!
@@Floppycats thank you for replying!
How Much do i use for a 2 month kitten please? x
sorry. i am not a veterinarian. i have no idea. i have never had a kitten that young.
Do you stop his food. I have firm up powered pumpkin product. It’s especially made for cats my cat is being transitional to another food he not getting diarrhea it’s a little softer I want to give it to him just to avoid the diarrhea i
i'm not familiar with the firm up powered pumpkin. no, i do not stop their food - but certainly don't give them more of the food that started the diarrhea if it did.
Can we also use squash if pumpkin is not available?
not sure.
My cat willingly eats pumpkin 🤣 he has an upset Tummy atm. I just gave him some canned pumpkin
hope it does the trick! yes, since i published this, i have learned many cats willingly eat pumpkin!
This is interesting. I have two cats that have been having a loose stool problem for a while. There isn't any sign of worms but it's about time to treat them again. If this doesn't help them I will try this too.
Otherwise time for a vet I guess.
yes, could be a number of problems 1. food they're on, 2. environmental factors - like toxic glade, airwick, bath & body "air fresheners" cause chronic diarrhea. this pumpkin is for an acute problem that arises, not a chronic one.
@@Floppycats Thank you for the information. I'm guessing it could be because we switched foods a few times. I never use air fresheners or even perfume in the house. They are outside in the daytime so they could be eating something I'm not aware of.
@@DeIicateFynn yes, if they are outside in the daytime, they could very much be exposed to things you're not aware of.
@@Floppycats Hey! Thought I'd let you know my two cats loved the pumpkin! Lol!! They ate it plain from a spoon.
@@DeIicateFynn yes, if you read through these comments - this video is now 3 years old - and many people have reported that their cats eat pumpkin willingly. weird. i have not met one yet.
Hello! How much ml would u recommend per day? How many days? Per feeding? Pls reply fast T-T, the kitten I rescued, is having diarrhea and i can't afford a vet
I wouldn't know for a kitten. A kitten might have worms, so that's the reason for the diarrhea, not this. Search on the kitten lady's channel for diarrhea and see what she recommends. I found one with a quick search - ruclips.net/video/ErX9rQwTlQ0/видео.html - "kitten lady diarrhea"
Can i give pumpkin to 30 day kitten
i am not sure, i have never cared for a cat that young.
If I opened the can yesterday and it passes the whole day in the fridge can I refrost it? Or its too late?
I think it's fine to refreeze it - I don't know what refrost means.
Thanks for the info on the pumpkin. I didn't know it would stop diarrhea. Good info to have. One more question please--I just bought the J.Galaxy Base Camp Combo. I took it out if the box and carrying case but for the life of me I cannot get it to form into the rectangular box!! It just sits there curved by the shape of the wires inside. They won't straighten themselves out. Is there a trick to this?? I sure can't figure it out. Help please. Thanks. Phyllis
Phyllis - I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the Jackson Galaxy Base Camp and asking them - I wouldn't know what to tell you without just trying to jack around with it. You could also see if there are RUclips videos that show you.
Can 3 weeks old baby kitten take pumpkin puree?
Christine Chang I don’t know. I have no experience with cats younger than 10 weeks. Maybe asks Rescue?
All I have is canned yams. Can that be used for my cats diarrhea? Or does it have to be pumpkin?
i honestly do not know - ask your veterinarian, maybe?
@@Floppycats ok I will, thanks!
They still have sugar and salt. It’s better to buy one and cook with no seasoning
How do you figure? It’s not listed as an ingredient
Can i give her boiled pumkin to cure her from diarrhea?
Does pumpkin purée work?
That’s what I’m using. As long as it is ONLY pumpkin, no spices, no other ingredients
Can I boil squash instead of canned pumpkin?
don't know - sorry
i think they are just the same
Thx mam
you're welcome - hope it helps you!
I noticed my cat had diarrhea about 10 days ago.
How often and how long should I give this pumpkin slurry to my cat? Once or twice a day for several days? Please let me know, thanks.
She had normal poop last week and her diarrhea came back yesterday.
i am not a veterinarian. i cannot tell you what to do with your cat. but when it's my cat, i just give this to them until diarrhea clears up - usually takes one dose - if it takes more than 3 doses, then we go to the vet. if i were you, i would be more concerned why diarrhea is returning - do you have plugin-air fresheners? scented litter?
Thanks for the prompt reply. No, I don't have plugin-air fresheners nor scented litter.
I will try Fortiflora (probiotics) and if it didn't work then I will take my cat to the vet. Thank you.
@@yukomattingly =)
Where can I get it ????
Farmer's Market Organic Canned Pumpkin: geni.us/PKFbrMa [Amazon]
I just put about a tablespoon mix in food. They like pumpkin.
Do you always continue if it works?or stop when stool is firm?
Stop when stool is firm. It’s great for constipation too if you run into that problem.
Nan,the rest of pumpkin Im making a pie!lol
So much for that,,didnt work after 6 days……still mushy,yet cat is playful and normal!
@@petenas4404 ID say that’s more chronic. Have you introduced a new food? Have you add a new “air freshener” to your house?

I do it for mine if they’re constipated. But I’m not a vet. Can’t tell you what to do with yours.

I think it's ml - but just have your vet show you...I go by gut instinct. And even if I were to tell you it's 2.5 ml, then you might have a different amount of pumpkin too...

EEEK - ACV? Never heard of that with cats.
@@Floppycats 😲search about it in google acv is good for cats m.petmd.com/dog/slideshows/7-vinegar-uses-pet-owners
Cats dislike apple cider vinegar (ACV) because of its smell. If ingested in undiluted form, some cats may have diarrhea and vomiting. A non-diluted version of ACV can be abrasive to a kitten's tender skin. Some cats may have allergies to ACV, which may lead to itching and rashes.
@@signazz0054 hmmmm...sounds like it's not a good option.
Yeah...but my cat has no prblm..just feed them more water feed them fiber content food try to avoid more dry food please contact your vet immediately
Anyone know how much pumpkin I give my 5 week old rodent..just kidding, kitten lol I just started weaning him to fancy feast kitten food so I think the diarreah is from the change of food.
I would probably start small and work up - like 1/2 teaspoon or something?
I need advice!!!
My cat has had diarreah for 2 weeks, i just gave him canned pumpkin today and now he is pooping on himself and everywhere he walks!!
Hes not acting sick, but it still worries me. I also have NO vet money.
i would take my cat to the vet if that was going on. pumpkin is not a long term remedy, especially for a sick cat. sick cats hide their sickness. how old is your cat? what does it eat? has anything changed in your environment in the last 2 weeks - like artificial air fresheners, new detergent, etc?
@@Floppycats he just turned 1 on may 27th. About 2 weeks ago we bought cat food that had dog food mixed in it. They ate it for 2 days before we changed it. I have 3 cats, they all have diarreah, but one of them, the oldest cat, her stool is becoming more solid now. They act as normal as they always do, they still eat normal and play. I feed them dry food with wet food mixes twice a day, but I have cut back on the wet food for a week now. I just today gave them canned pumpkin, and my boy cat, the 1 yr old, is leaking everywhere. About 10 minutes ago I checked on him and there is no leaking.
@@Floppycats I unfortunately dont have $200 for a vet, my family thinks he may have worms so i wormed him a week ago, and then said he might have a parasite, or may have gotton a UTI.
@@Floppycats tomorrow I will try and call or go to pet smart to get Banfield pet insurance so I can,take him,to the vet.
@@JxRocs My guess is feeding them dog food caused it. But yes, would be wise to take him to the vet - self treating him - like for worms can end up killing him.
Is it good for kitten ?!
It might work on a kitten
@@Floppycats it did, thanks a lot.
@@minaihdina7173 hallelujah ❤️
Do this really work on diarrhea,my kitten is facing such problem,im worried.do wet food cause diarrhea?
It can work. Depends what’s going on with the kitten. Any fast food change can cause diarrhea if their microbiome isn’t ready for it
@@Floppycats today i fed them boiled pumpkin,one of my kitten loved it,other one licked it but not so into it, i again mixed the lefover with treat and again fed them,they both loved it..nothing left behind..happy that i dont need to force feed..just wish it works on my kitten in thickening the stool.wish me luck🤗🤗
@@nishaashi4272 good luck 🍀
It's better to use powdered pumpkin and mix it with their food my cat doesn't even notice it
Froot Neinger interesting. Where do you buy that?
@@Floppycats You can probably find pumpkin powder in a store that specializes in vitamins and wellness products, You should be able to find pumpkin products specifically made for cats. But I'm pretty sure you could just make some yourself.
I just go with organic pumpkin powder I started off with small amounts in wet food and worked my way up to the desired amount. Unless your cat really dislikes pumpkin it shouldn't really notice the change.
@@frootneinger2291 thanks. yes, there are pumpkin products in pet stores, but i would rather just use organic plain. unfortunately, though, i doubt it'll work for mine - they can detect pumpkin in their very favorite food when i mix in a tiny amount!
@@Floppycats Organic is always the best way for sure there may be other ways to get the benefits of pumpkin in something else that your cat might tolerate I'm no dietician though , But I have read something about canned pumpkin which said it may contain a lot of sodium so you may want to check the labels to make sure you aren't giving your cat too much of that.
@@frootneinger2291 thanks, i will check again - but pretty sure it's just pumpkin....yep, just checked - pumpkin only 5mg of sodium which must naturally occur in pumpkin because pumpkin is the only ingredient listed?
Can we given normal pumpkin also for diarrhea?
what do you mean by "normal pumpkin"? this is normal pumpkin.
@@Floppycats means home cooked pumpkin
@@aparnagupta812 i don't think of that differently than canned pumpkin? it's still just pumpkin?
what if my cat doesn't eat? like he's not eating anything for 2 days :(
ANYTHING?? Get him to the vet! Cats can’t go that long without eating. Try sardines in water - like from Whole Foods or Natural Grocers. Not the ones in salt. But he has to eat - they get fatty liver disease if they don’t eat.
@@Floppycats he is drinking water. and he is eating now but just little. i gave him medicine which the vet prescribed when he was sick too when he was a kitten. i cannot go to vet now, i have no money, im having financial crisis 😭 that's why i cry everyday if he ignores me and don't eat 😭 but i hope he will be okay :(
@@katerin4542 I hope he turns around for you. Try the sardines if you can find some with water only, no salt.
@@katerin4542 I hope your litt;e one is doing ok. In a pinch a can of tuna or as Floppycats said sardines. Anything fishy and stinky they will eat.
@@shelleyp.832 hello! my cat is doing fine now!!
I will come back with a reply after 2 days and if it worked I AM GONNA SUBSCRIBE if not.......
I WILL STILL SUBSCRIBE CUZ WHY NOT
