Can you give your dog imodium and gas-x?

Answer 1

No, Gas X is not approved or evaluated for safety and effectiveness in dogs.

If you believe your dog is having gastrointestinal problems, you should talk to your veterinarian about what is occurring and what the underlying causes may be. In many cases, excessive gas can be managed through diet changes and possibly the addition of a pro-biotic supplement (there are a few commercially available specifically for dogs now).

Answer 2

No, these are human medications that are not safe for dogs to have. You could cause a fatal or severe reaction with these medications in dogs. Also, dogs tend to have different causes for stomach and intestinal problems than humans. Trying to treat a dog's stomach or intestine problem like you would a human's can cause major problems when you mask the symptom but don't address the underlying cause.

Answer 3

No, you should not give human medications to your dog. Dogs can be very sensitive to the side effects of human medications. In addition, the condition that Gas X treats may not be the same condition that your dog has, even though the outward symptoms may be similar.

Answer 4

No - Gas X is a medication intended for humans only. Giving it to a puppy could kill the puppy.

If you think your puppy is having digestion problems, you need to take it to the veterinarian. Incidentally, if your puppy's belly is swollen and full, the cause is probably roundworms rather than gas - your veterinarian can deworm the puppy and get the issue resolved pretty quick.

Answer 5

This is not a good idea, no.

Yes you can and you should have some in case of Bloat, it can buy you time but go directly to the Vet if your dog bloats.

Answer 6

Most dogs do not, but some dog have some type of problem that make their butt smell bad (my Yorkie does), or others just have gas from what they eat.

Answer 7

yes
