...told me it wasn't safe for her to go that long without pooping, and I should get her checked. I took her to her Vet and was prescribed some Lactulose and Gabapentin for her anxiety and stress from moving. I gave her the lactulose dose, 1.5ml (She's 17lb) and she did poop the following...

I'm in the USA. Chewy.com wants a prescription for lactulose.

So, you haven't tried Miralax so far? Maybe this older thread might be of help? Miralax vs. Lactulose-your experiences? | TheCatSite I have not used lactulose, so I have no idea how to compare doses. But, here is another older thread that talks about both of them. Feline Constipation-Miralax...

Not sure where you’re located, but in Canada lactulose is actually sold at every pharmacy for a lot cheaper than at the vet. No prescription needed, and the products are exactly the same except for the packaging. (We had the pharmacist compare it for us)

Is Laxatone similar to Lactulose? If it's similar at all, then your issue might be the lack of water. We had a cat who needed Lactulose for her entire life, as she had a butt that wasn't formed correctly and she couldn't poop and she was totally constipated no matter what. She was in such...

Lactulose is totally different. Laxatone is a gel whereas Lactulose is a very sticky liquid that my cat - no matter what flavour the compounding pharmacy gave us - would not like. I never had to syringe anything into his mouth. I'm afraid that I will mess up and he'll aspirate it, then...

I did not think it could be the lactulose in particular! Thanks for this.

hi, our 15 year old maine coon has been taking a teaspoon of lactulose (constulose) every day for the last few years. we mixed the liquid version into her food. until then nothing was helping w her constipation. tried miralax and pumpkin; she eats no dry food except for a few treats; and we add...

That could be from the lactulose if she inhaled any, although I know that this is an ongoing problem.

Also used Miralax with no issues for years. When I asked the vet about it she turned her nose up and said lactulose was the way forward, but that's no surprise given that the vet sells lactulose (at about 20x the cost of the stuff at the pharmacy! I got a friend who works for the Blue Cross to...

Agreed, Lactulose is sticky and awful. My cat hates having to take it. I also dislike how it functions too. Lactulose draws water from the cat into the colon, while Miralax/Restoralax bring the water that you mix it with into the colon. Miralax for Cats: Uses, Dosage, & Side Effects - Cats.com...

...constipation but not enough that she felt the need to intervene. (no dehydration noted btw) The recommendation was to hit him hard with lactulose and get things moving, then slow to a daily dose until he was once again going without assistance. Saturday: three rounds of lactulose (2 ml...

Just fyi — beware of lactulose and linkage to hypercalcemia. Maybe it won’t cause elevated calcium levels in your cat, but it did in mine. I’ve unfortunately proven it in controlled settings twice, doing bloodwork pre and post lactulose use. Hypercalcemia causes cats to stop eating. High...

...psyllium husk and didn’t realize it was in the food, I’m really hoping it’ll help. It’s a bit of relief to know it isn’t just her that the lactulose isn’t working with. :/ I asked about trying miralax and the vet seemed confused asking if it was a paste? Saying it would give her diarrhea (To...

Lactulose didn't work for my heaven cat either. I gave her miralax and vetasyl. Vetasyl is psyllium husk which is also in the science digestive diet. For some reason my vet didn't recommend vetasyl but I was desperate after I had to take my cat to emergency. She pooped everyday once I put her on...

Since Miralax is hard to come back where you are, and since you haven't mentioned having difficulties giving Lactulose to Toby, I probably wouldn't switch him over to the Miralax. Why mess with what is working. Foul smelling is probably from whatever he is eating. I recently switched up foods...

Thank you all! The vet suggested keeping him on lactulose until he produces regular poops, but he is doing better for sure. I'll update this forum if there are more developments, but hopefully they'll be good ones if anything! :thumbsup:

...may be some information here which might be helpful. Search Results for Query: megacolon Ask your vet if the combination of the probiotic, Lactulose, and Miralax is too much for him. Also ask if there are any products that might be more effective for his bottom. He may need something that...

Hello! I have been giving lactulose to my 10 and a half year old cat for a year and a little more who has constipation problems with an already dilated colon close to megacolon, as well as kidney problems. He is currently on a lactulose dose of 2ml every 12 hours, and Dr. authorized us to switch...
