My 14 year old, Mandy, was diagnosed last fall with early signs of Kidney disease, and was switched to Hills K-d food (she'll only eat dry). A couple of months later she started having problems with constipation, and I had to start giving her lactulose each day (1.5 mil). I always suspected the change in diet might have brought this on. She's since switched to Purina NF which she likes much better.
I'm wondering if I can expect indefinite success with the lactulose, and also wondering if there might be a chance that she can be weaned off it. She doesn't like taking it, of course, and it makes vacationing difficult.
I guess any comments you have on lactulose and constipation problems would be appreciated. Thanks!!
