Pancreatitis.If your dog is experiencing diarrhea, there are a number of other dog diarrhea meds and treatments that your vet can prescribe; it is best to utilize one of these options instead.Pepto-BismolPepto-Bismol falls into much the same category as Imodium mentioned above. It is one of the safer human meds for dogs, but only for certain dogs with specific conditions, and only under veterinary supervision.If your dog has diarrhea or an upset stomach, it’s best to use a dog diarrhea medication or stomach upset aids, but if you are in a pinch, make sure to call your vet before giving your dog Pepto-Bismol.Your vet will help you to determine whether it’s safe for your individual dog and if so, what the safe dosage is.If you do get the go-ahead to give your dog Pepto-Bismol, be aware that should your dog need an X-ray for any reason before the medication has passed, it may be mistaken for a metallic body in their gastrointestinal system so make sure you notify your vet.Benadryl (Diphenhydramine)Benadryl is used in veterinary practices as a treatment for allergies, motion sickness, and travel anxiety.It's also a popular human medicine for dogs and it's often used in veterinary practice. But there were also cases of diphenhydramine poisoning in dogs.If your pet is experiencing any of the above-mentioned illnesses, call your vet to confirm the Benadryl dosage specific to your dog.Additionally, ask if any of your dog’s current health conditions will be negatively impacted by the administration of Benadryl.Side effects that you should look out for when giving Benadryl include sedation, salivation, increased respiration, urinary retention, dry mouth, vomiting, diarrhea, increased appetite, and decreased appetite.If you notice that your dog develops dilated pupils, agitation, seizures, rapid heartbeat, and constipation, you may have given your dog too much Benadryl and you need to get to the emergency vet immediately.Buffered AspirinSome veterinarians recommend buffered aspirin for dogs with pain due to arthritis, and studies found it to be better tolerated by dogs.However, it is not generally the treatment of choice and will only be used on rare occasions.While technically it can be one of the safe human meds for dogs, there are many other (and better) dog-specific NSAIDs available for pain, or even less potent pain relievers that are safer for dogs to take than you can procure from your vet.If your vet does recommend buffered aspirin for your pet, make sure
