Don't give her so much maybe. ??
We give one cat an 1/8tsp once a day.
Thanks Lola, I thought there was someone here who uses miralax so I am glad to hear your input.
I am only just starting it, so "so much" isn't an issue, I don't even know how she will react to it or what dose will work for her. Recommended dose from the vet is 1/4 tsp twice a day. Remember that Jennie needs this because of a tumor or tumors growing in her colon, not your run of the mill constipation issue..
My concern is her comfort. Will it cause a lot of cramping? Nausea? I don't know.
She's gone off her food a little bit, not eating as much and that started before I started the miralx, I figured it was because she isn't passing the stool.
I came home to a nomral sized stool in the box, one end was hard and crumbly like the little bit she had yesterday, and the other end was soft and squishy. So the two doses of mirlax have helped her, but she looks uncomfortable, and did not finish her lunch.
I'm going to up her Cerenia to the prescribed dose starting tonight.
I struggle with not allowing msyelf to look too far ahead. Just take it one meal at a time.
