 but she had to have them as she was extremely ill being so constipated and the next step for her was being put under anaesthetic for manual removal which obviously having been so ill she would not have coped well with. She only needed three or four over a couple of days and then a few days of lactulose to get her moving quite normally again and luckily no problems since. |

The only thing I would say r.e lactulose is don't go over the top with the dose as it can send them the other way After being so very constipated, Mildred then had the runs following a few days of lactulose, it sorted itself out but just something to bear in mind. If you buy your Lactulose at the chemist be mindful that the does on the bottle will be a human dose  |

Hi - so sorry to hear about your cat. Just to say I use lactulose for Merlin. The vet gave me a dosage syringe and said I should give 0.3 X 2 a day which could be increased to 1.5 if necessary. I found that actually 0.4 X 2 a day worked after 2 days of dosing and after a day of no dosing, I have started with 0.3 again x 1 per day to see if that keeps him "moving" but not too much! He does not object to it in his food. Wishing you good luck with it - hope your cat is more comfortable soon. |

I have lactulose for my cat Jerry too. 1ml x2 a day at the moment but still working out what his major problem is. Just added Zantac syrup to try and resolve him beig sick almost daily seems to be doing the trick so far |
