| Unless she has GI upset and the meds won't stay down, I would force them immediately. As for food, I don't know but are you sure she is upset? Could it be that she isn't feeling well and just doesn't want to eat? If she hasn't eaten all day I would probably make her. Maybe give her PediaSure instead of food?

Are you sure her meds were giving when you were gone? I don't know much about lactulose, so I'm not sure, but isn't is usually given AFTER meals? I'm not sure about the Pediasure either but I think fiber is good for liver compromised dogs. You can always just go with PediaLyte instead of PediaSure until you have an answer. Have you posted on the Yahoo Group?

| Go with the PediaSure with fiber vanilla flavor. That's the good kind for them. I am not a vet, just speaking from experience. PediaSure for a couple of days should be fine. It has the vitamins/minerals/protein/calories that they need to sustain them. One little bottle of PediaSure has about 7 grams of protein. I give it in place of meals for the 1st day and on the second day of Pediasure, I usually start weaning off the PediaSure and starting the food little by little. Has Lacey been pooping okay? I would not stop the lactulose.
