- Contact your veterinarian for advice.
- Monitor your dog for any unusual symptoms.

Imodium (loperamide) is used to treat diarrhea in humans, but it can be unsafe for dogs if ingested in large quantities or if your dog is sensitive to the medication.

If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
