I mean, I can only guess it is safe isnce Ellie has liver issues and I asked to try lactulose. Her vet knew there was a history of pancreatitis and prescribed it for me anyway. I never ended up filling it though. This was her regular vet though, not an internist.

I always have questions about if things are okay for pancreatitis and liver compromised patients and I think it depends on the individual case. I can't find anything about it on Google. Did the vet say it would irritate his pancreas?
I guess at the time he got the pancreatitis, he had a lot of diarrhea, so it made sense to take him off, but now he seems kind of constipated. I think I should call the internist who probably knows more about it than my regular vet. It's so hard to get through to that animal hospital while I am at work, so I keep putting it off. It gets tricky when they have both problems as what works for one condition is often contraindicated for the other. Thanks for getting back to me and thanks to Wylie's Mom for bumping my thread.
