Brief Answer:
Lactulose syrup
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting the query,
I suggest you to give Lactulose syrup for Akhira. It is given in a dose of 5ml 2 times a day 10 hours apart ie. 8am in the morning and 8 pm in the evening, for 10 days. This will reduce her constipation. Along with this give her more fluids, Juices and water. Add lot of fibers in food like apple, green leaves and legumes.
Take care.
