I have given my rabbit Imodium (Loperamide) when she had GI stasis, under the advice of my veterinarian. We knew what we were treating her for. You should first find out why your puppy has diarrhea and get him the proper treatment. In any case, you would need a veterinarian to tell you the correct dosage of Imodium to give him -- according to how much he weighs, etc... You should never give any meds to your pets without first consulting with a veterinarian.

NO.. You should consult your vet for the appropriate medication. Human medication has been known to kill pets.
If your puppy has the runs you should take him to a vet to find out why.. If its nothing more than an upset tummy give your puppy a bland diet for a few days, ie boiled rice and vedge, no rich foods. Be sure he has plenty of fluids.. Lots and lots of water.

No.  You should never give human medicine to animals. Instead see your vet.
