Plain canned pumpkin is better for poop issues. I use Fortiflora as an appetite stimulant. Pumpkin is what I use when one of mine seem to be having an issue either way. It's a great source of natural fiber and has a good amount of water in it. They also like it. I add about a teaspoon a day to their food and it helps. Just make sure that it's plain pumpkin puree not pie filling. I find it in grocery store in the baking aisle under the canned pie fillings. Most stores carry Libby's. Check the ingredients. There shouldn't be anything but pumpkin in it. you can probably use the FF and pumpkin together if you need to.question Jack does not have diarreah but does a poopy about every 3rd day o i guess fortiflora says for diarreah its still ok to give him? i want it as a stimulant
