Lactulose Oral Solution
Lactulose solution is a prescription-only feline medication to help with your pet’s constipation. It’s made of non-absorbable synthetic sugar that pulls water into your pet’s intestine. This process aids in softening their stool and can help alleviate constipation when used correctly. It can be administered orally or rectally—make sure you carefully follow the directions issued by your veterinarian.
Lactulose for constipation may take up to 48 hours before producing results. Side effects may include diarrhea, excess gas and stomach cramping. Lactulose for cats comes in a 16-ounce bottle and contains 10g/15ml. According to the manufacturer, cats do not typically enjoy the taste of Lactulose laxative and pet parents will likely need to find a tasty treat to provide alongside this medication.
For more information on delivering great cat care—or if you need help finding a veterinarian—view our Cat Health Guide. Getting Lactulose over-the-counter is not an option, but Petco makes it easy to confirm your veterinarian’s authorization and get your pet’s prescriptions shipped conveniently to your door.
Does your cat have tummy trouble? Diet can play a prominent role in the wellbeing of your feline. Our Cat Nutrition Guide can help you discern how to provide a nutritionally balanced diet that can help reduce health issues later in life and reduce your cat’s dependence on Lactulose solution. Recognizing health issues with your pet early on can be vital in ensuring longevity and happiness.
