Help, info about pumpkin and stools

I know the info is here already but I could not find it with a quick look. Sasha is not having regular stools, had only one yesterday and none today so far. do I give her more pumpkin or less to help her go? Thanks

A little more. What did they use to sedate her for her surgery? Often the stuff they use tends to slow down the intestine. But adding another tablespoon or so of pumpkin should do the trick for the sweetie

I am not sure what they gave her for sedation, the invoice only says anesthesia induction, IV with anesthesia and local anesthesia, she was under for about 14 minutes.

Thanks for the info on pumpkin I could not remeber if it was more or less. She already had lunch so I will give her some with her supper. pbp

If she'll eat it plain, you could give her a TBSP now and her regular portion at suppertime. Spreading it out is okay and she'll feel special cuz she got a special treat
