Use it straight from the bottle, do not dilute with water and give 1 cc per 5 pounds orally once daily for 5 days. You can give the childs dose of pepto or kaopectate every 4 to 6 hours but this only treats the symptom not the cause of the diarrhea.

I know I can give her pepto but I dont know how much? Please help, I have had her since she was 3 days old. I cant lose her!
