I don't recommend it unless we know what is causing the diarrhea. I would recommend that you discuss it with your vet first. Some types of diarrhea serve a purpose of clearing the GI tract of harmful bacteria or toxins. Loperamide also has the effect of causing significant constipation if it is used in the wrong case.
