Hi Trish

Immodium only treats the symptom of diarrhea, and not the cause. Without examining your cat, I can't offer specific advice but I can say that immodium has been used in cats at a dose of 1/2 a 2mg tablet once daily but only for 2-3 days.In some cats, it can cause an excitement reaction, and there's no way of predicting if a cat will react that way.

All the best with your girl
