I guess its like peat moss is for garden soil....soaks up and holds
extra moisture but
keeps it from drying out and turning into cement...Probably more of a
preventive
than a cure...Some of us old people understand about the need for fiber....
If the problem is a bacteria or physical problem it may not help that
much though...

Well, I've known it as a cure (source of fiber?) for diarrhea -
don't know if it works as a laxative too, some things deal with
both... For example, homeopathic Nux Vomica is in many cases a
solution for both.
But lactulose is a solution for constipation (as is vitamin C), and
not diarrhea.

Can someone remind me, is pumpkin supposed to be a laxative, or a
cure for diarrhea? Some people on the Sphynx rescue list are feeding
it to their cats as treats, and I'm curious as to if this is a good
idea (will feeding it to "normal" cats make them get diarrhea or
become constipated?)

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special
needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they
add up until she earns a free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please email me for the NEW
address to send them to!

Does your cat have chronic diarrhea that does not respond to
treatment, or has your cat been loosely diagnosed as IBD?
Have you tested for Tritrichomonosis? The test is new, the new drug
makes it curable.
Ask me today how you can test for Trich!
