Has anyone given their Yorkie Imodium? My little girl has a little bit of diarrhea tonight - 3 times, not totally liquid, but very loose. She is very upset about it, but has made it to her piddle pad each time. Anyone given Imodium to their dog? Thanks! |
I haven't and I probably wouldn't unless a vet said it was ok. Have you tried canned pumpkin? It can help firm up loose stools. I would, however, give her some pedialyte just ensure she doesn't get dehydrated with the loose/runny stools. Praying she feels better soon! |
Tried, she won't have anything to do with it. Found a sticky that says I can give her some, but I am hesitant . |
Thanks, mandiesmom, she is drinking really well so I'm not too,worried about that at this point. She is giving me that "help me Mom look"! |
Awww, I wouldn't be able to take that look either! Hopefully someone will post that has. If it will help, that would be great! |
Kyra hates pumpkin so I warm it a tiny bit and put it on the roof of her mouth...it only takes a couple teaspoons to help. |
My mom and bro gives their dogs Imodium or pepto. No problems so far and they are 5 and 11 years old. |
All righty- I warmed the pumpkin like younsaidmand got about a teaspoon in her (much to her dismay). She is drinking water, but can't figure out where he nite-nite treat is:D. Geesh, she is spoiled :eek: but I can only blame that on me :p Thanks for the great idea! Now we will just see how the night goes. |
I did give her a tiny bit of Imodium (0.2ml, she is 3 lbs-14 oz) earlier. I remember many, many years ago my vet gave it to one of my big standard poodles and it did the trick, but he weighed 70 lbs. |
You can also give her liquid Kaopectate. ( sp??) I always have Kao on hand at home from the vet.. You can always request some from your vet. |
hope she feels better |
Awww poor little Cali - hope she is feeling better by now. I used a bit of Imodium with Lollie when she was younger - with good results. |
No further diarrhea...think we have it taken care of. Thanks everyone for you input ! |
Glad she is doing better now! |
dogs can have imodium, my vet figured out the proper doseage when lola was a puppy. and it was a bit more than I would have expected. if it continues see if you vet will give you the amount to use. |
