screw you circlejerks. You are a complete asshole to everyone. This can definately be bad and you have to joke about it?

**Michael Billings** · 10-14-2007 04:14 PM

Just make sure your dog doesn't get too dehydrated. If it is a small dog, it will have a bigger effect.

Thank science your dog threw up.

**mantis32** · 10-14-2007 04:16 PM

yeah circle jerk way to read the actual topic before leaving a retarded reply
its a she.

**circle** · 10-14-2007 04:16 PM

ohh
lo siento

**aaronaftershock** · 10-14-2007 04:18 PM

Wait, the anti-diarrhea medicine?

I don't think it will have a major effect on the dog... Because it won't be pooping a ton I doubt it would be any more dehydrated than usual, maybe just some side effects because it's a little dog.

It may not #### for a week... That stuff did wonders to my brother when we were in Mexico...

But she should be ok. Dogs have a very potent digestive acid that can break down almost anything... There have been stories of dogs who have eaten rocks and stuff and were ok. She'll be fine.

my dog eats chocolate all the time.

Apparently that is not good for dogs to eat.

just watch your dog to make sure she is ok, and she'll be fine.

Call the local vet or animal emergency center.

I second the motion for calling the vet. Thats a powerful drug and a small dog. Just because a medicine seems benign for humans does not make it so for dogs. One advil could kill a dog that size.

So I should go to a dog health forum to find out what anti-diarrheal is best for sliding?

**pirateswin** · 10-14-2007 06:35 PM

If your dog has a vet, call them. Otherwise, call a local emergency vet clinic. In fact, the absolute worst thing you could do is waste time here asking people who have no idea. It's a small dog with a small liver, and you don't know if it can process the toxin sufficiently or not. Ask an expert.

That being said, if it threw the pill up, it will probably be fine. But I sure wouldn't risk my dog's life with a probably.

**Rabid Skunk** · 10-14-2007 08:13 PM

Ask LB1 he's a vet's assistant or something. Basically, he just shoves his fingers in dog's assholes.

your the most obnoxious person on the forum everytime you post its either giving false information or a poor attempt at being funny

Imodium is a fairly powerful drug.
The biggest side effect of it, is generally bloating..
This side-effect would be more likely to be prevelant among dogs, as they are much smaller, especially your dog.
I would watch for signs of bloating, if you do notice any, immediately get with an emergency vet of some form.

Though, just to let you know.. Many people give their dogs Imodium before leaving them in kennels, or for plane rides, and things of that sort.. Though, with a smaller dog, they would generally use a children's Imodium.
All-in-all, if you feel at all like the dog is not being itself in any form, talk to a vet.
