Hi all. My cat Simba has Ckd. Not sure what stage. He has been getting constipated and the vet put him on lactulose. 5 ml twice daily until he has a movement then 2ml twice daily. He was stopped up for a week. Took him to the vet and he was anesthetized and given an enema. The tech said the poop was not rock hard. He gets a mixture of hard kibble and wet food. I’m going to greatly limit the hard kibble.
I saw on here about using Miralax instead of lactulose. Within the week of him not pooping we were giving him 5ml twice daily with no luck. We are on our last ditch effort to get this managed properly or unfortunately we are out of options.
what I’m asking for is suggestions on managing this constipation. He was trying to poop but it just was not coming out. I know hydration is huge. We have numerous water bowls and fountains around the house to encourage drinking. Any and all help or suggestions are appreciated
