My dog has roundworm diarrhea. Can I give Pepcid or Imodium?

Question

If my dog has diarrhea caused by round worms should I give him pepcid or imodium. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 25 days old

No, I would not recommend giving either of these. I would deworm Gunner with a good broad-spectrum dewormer like Panacur to get rid of the parasites - this will clear up the diarrhea. In the meantime, you can feed him a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice for the next 2-3 days to help encourage his stools to be firmer.
