What is the Dosage for diarrhea

[pbach]

Nikki has a bout of diarrhea - no other symptoms, nothings changed - I'd like to give her some imodium - but can't find my first aid sheet. Anyone know the dosage?

Thanks,

It does not list Immodium but it does list Kaopectate. Hope that's of some help!

They discussed how much and all that here... thought it would help.

Given their size, I always give an adult dose. If it's a little extra, I doubt it's enough to hurt them.

PS: Kaopectate is ml per pound every 2 hours. You can look at the Immodium dose to compare.

Thanks all - by the time I got to this Joe had already called and vet. 1 pill every 12 hours. Well poor little darling has never messed her crate and today she did it good. She's now had her pill and even some boiled rice to go with her dinner. Hopefully she'll be done with the Hershey squirts for a while.

Give her a big 'ole butt scritch from us - as soon as her butt gets better.
