When dosing by weight for diarrhea or generalized upset stomach, itâs recommended that the standard liquid Pepto Bismol formula (17.5 mg of bismuth subsalicylate per milliliter) is administered at a rate of 0.5 mL per pound, or 1 U.S. teaspoon for every 10 pounds of a dogâs body weight.
Pepto Bismol can cause dogsâ stools to turn a greenish-black color and, âas a result, it can be difficult to discern if your dog is experiencing melena (blood in the stool), which presents as black, tarry stools and can be indicative of a serious medical issue,â Wallach said.
