Loved your website! As a new chi owner, I've been looking for info about the breed. I've raised Labrador retrievers, so this is a really big change for me! I wanted to give you some info I recently learned so you can add it to your website. Here's what happened: My new 3-month old puppy had diarrhea and I knew Kaopectate was ok to give him, but it was Sunday night and I didn't have any Kaopectate! I searched my medicine cabinet and found Immodium, which is another remedy for diarrhea. Being a smart woman, I decided to check the Internet to see if Immodium was OK for dogs. Luckily, the third website I checked had info about Immodium (Loperamide HCI). It said Loperamide can be toxic to dogs! Thank goodness I checked! Actually, the site said Kaopectate doesn't do much either - feeding a mixture of rice and cottage cheese is really the best. I wrote to the vet to thank him for including that info. He may have saved "Charlie's" life! I thought you might want to put Immodium (Loperamide HCI) on your list of dangerous medicines. Lynn Lawrence |
