Gautam, Nice pict. Megacolon is more common in cats. The case also seems to have lumbar spondylosis.Try the usual protocols such as high fibre low residue diet.The best treatment of choice is colectomy. You can remove up to 70% of the intestines.

Dear Dr Gautam
Lactulose alone is effective for mega colon but if it is there with signs of anorexia indicative of Hepatic Encephalopathy (due fecal toxins) the above combination could be used and available in India as
Lactulose -Rapiduce
L-Ornithine L-Aspartate (Hepamerz)
Ursdeoxychlic acid (Udoxyl)... See More
Other essential amino acids for liver ( Essentiale L)
