Stopping every hour for our poor Astrid

Our black dog has been experiencing diarrhea for the past week. Today, she has needed me to stop every single hour to let her relieve herself. Stephanie sent an email to our veterinarian in Nixa to describe the problem. They quickly replied, saying that we should feed her raw pumpkin. If the problem persists, they want us to bring a stool sample. We were truly hoping that we would not need to see an emergency veterinarian while we are so far away from home. After a couple of feedings of pumpkin, she seems to be feeling better. She and her sister have been running around the massive snow piles, here at a shopping center parking lot in Biddeford Maine.
