pumpkin adds fiber. fiber absorbs water. absorbing water does 2
things: in the case of constipation, absorbing water creates looser
stools, therefore making stools easier to pass, or firming stools
up...whichever is needed. Pumpkin is used by holistic vets to treat
blockages and diarrhea. It is a natural way to keep ferrets from
developing furballs. This has been discussed on other forums.
