Charley is 10.5 years old. He was diagnosed with megacolon about 2 years ago - and is doing fine right now.

He gets Miralax and Cisapride on a daily basis. We give him the meds mixed in with a small amount of tasty canned food and never have any problems.

He gets 1/4 teaspoon of Miralax powder and 1/4 cc of Cisapride every morning. The Cisapride keeps the peristalsis going for the intestines, and the Miralax keeps the poop soft.

I remember when we saw the initial x-rays. I knew it was megacolon - having seen it in patients while still working as a nurse. I had no idea animals could also get it.

Good luck
