Pumpkin may stop the process but it fixes nothing. Both loose stools
and clinical diarrhea are attempts to remove whatever irritant is
bothering the dog. Why on earth would you want to prevent the dog
from expelling that which bothers him?

You have to back way up to the first broken domino in the line before
you can get the one at the end to fall down properly. If the issue is
loose stools, fix the diet. If the issue is diarrhea, discuss the
situation with a medical professional of your druthers.

Cooked fiber of any kind--including the garbage that goes into kibble
to make those nice tidy stools--may provide temporary relief to the
human who has to clean up messes, but when the problems begin anew
when the fiber treatment stops, it's clear evidence that not a single
thing was resolved.

My goodness, what does Karo? That's corn sugar, which is never
useful to a dog. If you want feed something to soothe the system,
Slippery Elm would be the answer. This would also reduce spasming.
