Sammy's got no history of constipation. Dx in 2006. Rainbowed for a year. Back on PZI Vet. Tightly regulated. Delayed tooth extraction b/c of heart murmer until April 6. Came thru like a champ. No op-related diarrhea. Pudding poo on April 8. Then after that sometime one as long as his tail practically. Then he had to switch from PZI Vet to Lantus b/c they're not making PZI anymore. First shot April 18 was a 5x overdose. Stuffed him with food and Karo. Lantus board here saved him. Lowest point was 62. After that realized he wasn't going and hadn't been for goodness knows how long. 1/8 tsp MiraLax diluted and shot orally on April 20. Repeated 24 hrs later on April 21. Went to doctor nite of April 22 (Thursday). In handling for X-ray he relieved himself. In handling for 2nd X-ray went again. 2nd X-ray confirmed only a little left in tract. Doctor yesterday (Saturday April 24) told me to give him 0.5cc Lactulose despite sugar. BG soared but no poop. Well, It appears he may not have gone since and the Lantus board did some research and Lactulose appears to be contraindicated for diabetics. There was a little package in the LB this AM but his sister was also in the house. Not only am I worried he's uncomfortable, it may be affecting his numbers. What would you suggest?
