Anyone with a GSD with motility disorder? Unfortunately our GSD was diagnosed with one - cause unknown as all tests came back normal. Lactulose (laxative) was prescribed, unfortunately it had stopped working after a while. So far we tried herbal stuff (described by the vet) for the past couple weeks but as with the Lactulose it stops working after a while and back to enemas it is (no choice) which we all don't like.
I'd like to try the drug CISAPRIDE but vet is reluctant although he hasn't told me the reason yet. I know it can cause deadly arrythmias in humans and was taken off the market because of it but is still available at vet pharmacies and I can't find any info that it causes the same in animals. Anone out there who uses Cisapride for their dogs? Are there any other new drugs?
thanks.
