Technically, Imodium (Loperamide) is an opiate, but it only binds to the mu receptors in the GI tract; and doesn't cross the BBB (Blood Brain Barrier) into the CNS (Central Nervous System) like other opiates do.
Some dogs with certain types of diarrhea can take Imodium, but in other cases, giving your dog Immodium can lead to potentially serious side effects like constipation, sedation (which can be severe), bloat and pancreatitis. Here are several instances when you should NOT give your dog Imodium: 1  Your dog is a herding breed (like a Collie, Sheltie or Australian shepherds). These dogs may carry a mutant form of the ABCB1-1Î´ (MDR1) gene that dramatically limits their ability to break down some types of drugs, including Imodium.
