I hope the addition of pumpkin helps. I have heard good things and always gave our dogs pumpkin or squash as it is high in vitamin A and potassium. In our case the pumpkin on top of everything else only made her stool larger and orange colored but still soft. It didn't seem to rid her of having itchy, leaking glands because I was still feeding foods that caused irritation and that was really the underlying problem in her case. It wasn't until I switched to a simple diet that she finally found relief.
I followed Dr. Karen Becker's advice and eliminated all possible irritants in food that could cause inflammation or allergy like potato, corn, soy, wheat, rice and even oatmeal. I know it is necessary in some cases but from what I read, removing the glands should not be done unless absolutely necessary.
