FosterFlunker Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Einstein has the Big D. I have been crushing chewable Pepto tablets for him. Can't get him to the vet until Friday afternoon. Looked up the dosage and it says 1 tsp for every 5 lbs. That seems like an awful lot. Can anyone confirm the dosage please Quote Make a fast friend adopt a greyhound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EmilyAnne Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I don't know anything about the Pepto, but my Henry has had several bouts of extreme diarrhea, and each time, a 24 hour fast from all food did the trick. I also withheld his Kbr. Consult with your vet before withholding prescribed meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Withhold all food for 24 hours, then start with a very bland diet (rice and cooked chicken) and it will likely resolve itself. For control, I personally use Kaopectate. About a tablespoon on a small piece of bread and feed it like a treat. My old dog had a VERY sensitive tummy! My vet has also said you can give Immodium to a dog. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.
