Do you give your dog Pepto or Kaopectate when they are vomiting or have diarrhea?

My parent's are out of town and Buddy Jr. has had diarrhea in his crate 2 days in a row!! (My uncle lives next door to them and is keeping an eye on him) So I'm going over today with rice and ground beef and I called Jr's vet to see how much he weights and ask how much I should give him and she said not to give it to him and just do the bland diet.

I know it contains a little bit of asprin, but the ones I use for my Buddy all the time are coated and have not upset his tummy.

I just wanted to know if anyone here uses Pepto.
Thx!
