This is what I will use on Yogi if the Lomotil causes a prob. Anything with an opiate/ narcotic can cause this side effect. To me, the benefit of Yogi being free from honking and reduce his gagging and spasms makes me feel better..so fingers crossed I hope constipation doesn't become a problem. That's heartbreaking to watch too....this whole CT condition is very painful to watch in these babies...I remember the day I found out what was wrong with him, was one of the saddest days!! All I could do was hold him and cry. It's been total trial and error of meds and remedies since then. I feel what your going through! |
It really is a very sad thing to watch and go through.
The three pups that I know of who took Lomotil did well and did not get constipated from it. So, hopefully Yogi will not ... but as you said, pumpkin usually helps!
I really hope he does well on the Lomotil.
