I don't recommend any drugs for loose stools, as they generally don't
work.  ECE results in a marked loss of surface absorptive area in the
intestine, and in some cases, a prolonged inflammatory response
contributes to the intestinal damage.
 
Look to the diet - kibble is a difficult food for the intestine to digest,
and most treats, especially those with fiber in them are equally bad.  Try
to eliminate those in animals with loose stools.
 
Occasional loose stools, as long as the animal is still eating, drinking,
and acting well are generally not a problem, and probably do not warrant
medical intervention.
 
No magic pill for this one - generally the tincture of time is the best
medicine.
 
With kindest regards,
