Lactulose - in liquid form? if so it is a human medicane, I have had it myself a few times, in sainsburys parmacy it was cheaper to buy it then have it on presiction! You would need to check the dosage though.

I wonder what else you can give?? as when I had my houserabbit, our vet advised pineapple juice when she had fur-balls - always made her better, I think it workes the same carnberry juice does for human waterworks problems
The lactulose was for Daisy ,s constipation at first i was told 5ml=1tsp one in the morn one in the aftrnoon , but when i called back in the afternoon to check if i could give any more they said it wont harm her to give moore as it was a natural laxative so i think i ended up giving her another 4 tsp throughout the day , the only thing it would have done was given her the squits lol . but at the time she so desperately needed to go i thought what the hell , even giving her that much she didnt get the runs and now is pretty much back to normal . I paid £4.85 from lloyds chemist it was nearest at the time . will keep some in stock now i know ,
