I have a miniature schnauzer, about 20 lbs, he has had the diarrhea for 2 days, what can I give him to make it stop. I tried rice yesterday, but not luck, today he had nothing and its all water. Can I give him Imodium?

Imodium would be just a symptomatic treatment, which would not be of great help in case of an infective gastroenteritis. In this case, considering the persistency of the diarrhoea despite the dietary change, I would recommend a check up at your local veterinarian as antibiotics and probiotics may be needed.
