Have any of you ever tried using activated charcoal for Diahrea? I take it myself for Celiacs disease, and I have been using it on my Mini pin who decided that eating the garbage was a good idea. It works very very well, but it is the active ingredient in Pepto bismal so it will turn the stool black (somewhat disconcerting). It might be worth a try, however it is easiest to mix with food but if your little chi isn't eating much....and it is a natural product
