    Squallie is still constipated. I dread having to give him another enema. He quit doing the flop-bottom thing, but he is still bloated and straining, and now he’s not eating, either. :(

    He’s been on lactulose for about a month. Doesn’t really seem to help him much, though.

    Just wanted to mention lactulose is "dose to effect" meaning you should give more until you get desired results. Rose gets 1.5ml 2x daily, but when obviously constipated, I increase to 2ml 2x / day. In my experience, too much will produce gas. I have never given so much as to cause diahrea.

    Not to be gross, but wanted to mention I also used lactulose in her enema solution.

    I hope you see some action soon! :bighug:

    Maybe increase it a bit, Lactulose is one of the only things that really does the trick after playing with the dose amount for Bronx. More vines for Squallie :bighug::bighug::bighug:
