I would not recommend giving her a human anti diahrrhea medication, dogs need special medications when it comes to diarrhea and these can be prescribed at the vet's. in the meantime withhold food for 12 hours then offer her boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food.
