My dog has diarrhea. Can I give him anti-inflammatory medication?

Question

In fact Bette, I am not ignorant. I know I can not medicate my animals for nothing. But I also know that I asked for my opinion on this product because I know it is an anti-inflammatory product. and normally is not a dangerous thing. If I do not go running to the vet, it was because this month I spent 200€ there, I'm not rich. Then asking once again for someone's opinion, he is no longer vomiting, only with liquid diarrhea. i give him the antiinflamatory just in case, he is okay. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 9 months old

I am not sure if you are talking about a prior question you posted here. You don't mention the name of the anti-inflammatory you have on hand, but if it is an NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory) it would NOT be recommended to administer to a dog who has gastrointestinal upset as NSAIDS can in fact cause GI upset as a side effect. There are some over the counter anti diarrhea medications at pet stores that contain kaolin and pectin that can be useful in some diarrhea. Another over the counter consideration would be a probiotic.
