"cat" obviously... it's early...

thanks - you too! i hate to hear stories like the one about your neighbor's car. frankly, i cringe whenever i see a small child with a small animal. it may look cute but the reality is little kids see animals as toys, not living creatures.

thanks mac - hope your guys continue to do okay.

hi mac - thanks for the input. i've had some experience with chronic conditions in cats although this is my first exposure to miralax. since this all began i've spoken again to the original emergency vet and he was seen in person by his regular vet yesterday. she agreed with the regimen i've...

update: henry continues to improve on his new wet food diet so fingers crossed the crisis is over. i'm still monitoring him closely and will continue to do so. thanks again to everyone who offered information and support. i hope all your cats continue to be healthy and happy >^;^<

hi walli, i've never heard of gut smooth but i'll look into it. but he doesn't have hairballs since x-rays were clear. i think the problem was constipation resulting from a mostly dry food diet. he's been on a wet food diet for about a week and is much improved. he was examined by his regular...

thanks walli. i'll ask the vet tomorrow.

hi white shadow - yes, that does help. i had read so many conflicting things about miralax that i was hesitant to use it at first. but your information, along with the other long-time users that have posted here has provided assurance that it should be okay. note: henry will be seen by his...

this is all helpful information, thanks. he's only been getting the miralax for about 5 days and i am monitoring him closely. fortunately he seems to be starting to poop normally and has been peeing normally so far. also, fortunately, i'm with him all day and can see he's drinking. his wet food...

PS: to everyone who has been so kind to reply... i'm also making sure henry is getting exercise, running and playing as much as possible.

hi casper's human - thanks for the info. i'm glad casper is doing okay and that it continues! i was concerned that using the miralax for more than a week or so would be a problem but so far responses are similar to yours - that longer use shoudn't be a problem if needed. for now, henry is...

hi feebys owner - thanks for replying. that seems to be the consensus re: miralax so far. i'll keep giving it to him for now. henry was tested extensively last weeked, including x-rays and everything came back normal. i guess it's going to be r&d now. i will try again to contact his regular vet...

hi silent - thanks for replying. he's only getting wet food now (Hills sensitive stomach) and fortunately is drinking normally. actually, except for the not wanting to poop, he's acting completely normal. no temperature, urinating normally. i don't want him to be dependent on miralax but am...

thanks for replying. daisy's situation seems different than henry's since he hasn't been diagnosed with any specific colon problems - at least not yet, fingers crossed - and isn't on any other meds. reading some of the other threads, it does seem like miralax is used regularly over time. i'm...

My cat henry is in general good health. He's 5 years old, 8kg, although he does not overeat and has been on Hills SD for sensitive stomach, mostly dry but with several oz of wet daily, for several years. His poop has been somewhat dry lately but still regular once a day. Last week saturday...
