Hi everyone
I just want to say thank you for all your help and your time. You have all been helpful. I know you are not vets and I am sorry for asking so many questions. And I do understand that it varies with all cats and you are only telling me your experiences.
I have decided on a vet...
Also if I go back to Miralax now and the results of the blood work next Friday come back a lot lower than it was.. (for the high calcium) I won't actually know if it was the Prenil (steriod) that worked.. or the Miralax. So I think I will just stay on the Lactalose till then.
Thanks for the...
Hi
I am only doing 4 - 6mls of lactalose a day now.. that amount made her go yesterday..
I am not doing them both at the same time as the "specialist" said not to... so I am only going by their suggestion..
The specialist is on annual leave till next week... however this is the specialist...
hi furballsmom...
i was just thinking of switching things up... as in rare cases lactalose can cause the high calcium scoobie has... and that high calcium can make IBD worse :(
I am going to do another blood test on the 23rd... it will have been a month since scoobie started prednil... (a...
Hi there
My cat Scoobie has IBD / perhaps megacolon and perhaps lymphoma. Anyway she is on Lactalose at the moment but I have had to increase the dosage now to get her to go poo (always constipated) as it seems the diseases are getting worse.
Is anyone using cisapride as well as a laxative...
artiemom.. i love the icons you do if that is what you call them? one day i will figure out how to do that...
that is so informative about the food... i wish scoobs would eat wet food.. i might try some broth that a place called "raw essentials" does here ...
i have forgotten artiemom.. do you...
oh and i forgot to say i didn't give lactalose and miralax together.. BUT i have realised she goes downhill before she does a poo... and for quite a few hours afterwards.. but with not giving her 14mls over 14 hours.. she has kept eating... so there must not be as much cramping as before :)
howdy everyone!!!!
scoobie went poo!!!!!! yipee!!!!! all your thoughts and prayers worked. THANK YOU!
she did 2 x 6cm ones... perfectly formed and soft! and i hadn't even increased her lactalose.. she went on 3mls twice a day.... so i am sticking to that! fingers crossed.....
AND scoobie ate...
Hi all you lovely people
My laptop died so I had to go by another. So I am back :)
I went to a new vet this morning. She is American and so kind and has a lot of knowledge (more than my specialist it seems).
She told me that from all the symptoms and tests Scoobie has had done and going...
Hi there
She was only going every 4 / 5 days with the assistance of a huge amount of lactalose which in turn made her ill in herself. She was loosing a lot of weight too. She was down to 2.5kg from 3.5kg. That made us do blood tests where the high calcium came back (hypercalcemia). So I...
Hi Timmers parent...
Oh gosh.. I am so sorry to hear that you lost Timmer three weeks ago. That is so sad. Timmy looks beautiful with the most gorgeous eyes. Are you okay? My thoughts are with you.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have never done this before online ever and the...

hi everyone
i have been told it is $500.00 per month for cisapride in NZ.. does anyone get this in australia and would have a place i could ring to see if i can get it there for less?
