Yes, I just spoke w/my vet as my cat was recently diagnosed with cancer and the medicine treatment has given him diarrhea so she instructed me to give him (he's 9 lbs) 1 ml of imodium for the 1st dose. The 2nd day dose at 0.50. Stools should return to normal and if not then he will need to be seen to adjust his medicine treatments. Of course, when having to give any animal an approved human form of medication your vet should be notified so according to weight of the animal they can give you instruction on the correct dosage.

It is not recommended to give Imodium (Loperamide) to cats without consulting a veterinarian first. Cats can have adverse reactions to human medications, and the dosage needs to be carefully monitored to prevent overdose. It's important to seek professional advice to ensure the proper treatment for your cat's diarrhea.

I know that my parents give their Corgi human dirreha medicine, not sure in what doses though. This was from the advice of our friend who is a practicing Vet.

You can give your cat Loperamide hydrochloride tablets for diarrhea. Another name for this medication is Imodium, which is available over-the-counter.

What kind of medication should you take for diarrhea?

The best (most natural) remedy is teaspoon mixture of water and a bit of corn starch. This will work almost immediately. Not too much or else it will constipate you! If you have chronic diarrhea, however, please see your doctor! ~ T Answer MEDICATION for diarrhea include- "Pepto-Bismal" (Bismuth subsalicylate) and "Imodium" (Loperamide hydrochloride"). My suggestion is TWO 2mg. tabs of "Imodium" (generic is cheaper!) at the first loose stool. Drink plenty of water and take ONE 2mg. tab at next loose stool; NOT TO EXCEED FOUR tabs. in 24 hr. Good Luck!! There is a specific medication called Imodium which is made to stop Diarrhea. It is over the counter and does work.. another way is just to stay away from milk and milk products and have some binding foods, rice, potatoes, etc: which will help bind you.
