Never heard of slippery elm but use carob for diarrhea in dogs often. Carob is not chocolate, it is the health food substitute for chocolate and I have not seen a dog turn it down yet. Immodium causes vomiting sometimes in dogs creating a new set of problems. Use carob every four hours. Pepto bismol works every four hours too as well as kao pectate.
