Hello, and thanks for your question. The specific flavor of lactulose shouldn't matter, but I'd make sure to give it according to your vet's recommendations. Constipation is a bit unusual in a young cat like Aspen (I'm seeing she is just over a year in your profile), so I would not recommend giving it unless your vet instructed you to do so. Hope this helps!
