Best Answer

"Lomitol" is not a valid drug name; I believe you are referring to "Lomotil", an anti-diarrhea drug for humans. This drug should never be given to dogs, as diarrhea in dogs tends to be either allergic or infectious in nature and this drug can worsen the diarrhea. Also, part of the drug is atropine, a not uncommon drug used to control some heart problems in dogs - giving Lomotil to a dog already on atropine or other heat medications could cause a fatal overdose.

If your dog has diarrhea that persists for several days or your dog has diarrhea with other signs of illness (vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite, etc), you should take him/her to a veterinarian for an examination where you will get much safer drugs if your dog needs them.

Can dogs eat licorice?

The only thing a dog should have is some meats and veggies. Other than that many other foods can be toxic. At the very least licorice will give your dog diarrhea and this happens in humans as well. However, often some animals are treated with licorice root for different problems, but this is a far cry from candied licorice or any store bought licorice. Don't give it to the dog!
