Is Miralax available in pet stores? I've checked PetSmart and Drs. Foster & Smith and neither one of them carry it. Or do you get it from a regular pharmacy?

My cat has asthma and I'd been giving her 1/2 of a 5mg prednisolone every day, which worked. Lately I've cut back to every other day, perhaps because she's using a prescription diet without cornmeal or wheat. Or maybe she's just improved. Anyway, it's extremely rare to hear her coughing at...

Thanks...I thought those amounts sounded like too much.

One of my cats is constipated so I've thought about switching both my cats to a canned diet...until I looked at the cost! I'm afraid that I can't afford to give my cats, say, 6 cans of Fancy Feast per day (the recommended amount for 2 10lb cats). Are there any cheaper alternatives that have...

Thanks all! I'm curious...how much canned food does the average cat require? I've only given my cats dry food, 1/3 to 1/2 cup per cat Hill's Prescription Diet. I'm hoping not to spend any more on cat food than I already am, getting prescription food through the vet...

Thanks! She's presently on dry Science Hill Prescription diet due to possible colitis; she used to have occasional diarrhea. I wonder if this diet has extra fiber, which is causing the problem, as the vet said her stools seemed larger than normal. I'll try slowly switching over to canned, I...

I have a longhair with constipation...and problems missing the litterbox on occasion. I'm presently trying Cat Attract litter to get her to use the box again. And giving her small daily doses of Petromalt. And fish oil in her food. The vet doesn't think there's anything seriously wrong. But...

Tried the canned pumpkin, but neither of my cats went for it. Maybe I'll give the Cat Attract a shot. The funny thing is, she uses the litter box most of the time, just sometimes that she goes elsewhere...

Only a very small amount of wet food, just enough to mix with the hairball remedy and the steroid she takes for asthma. How does one "retrain" a cat to use the litterbox? Every cat I've owned has been an adult so they've already been litter box trained. I can see your point about the pain...in...

A common problem I know. I have a mixed-breed medium hair who defecates outside her litter box. If she's constipated, she will try the litter box for a bit and if not successful, then tries the floor directly in front of the litter box. I don't know why she doesn't just keep standing in the...

My cat has a periodic problem with both constipation and defecating outside the litterbox (probably linked). This problem has grown worse in recent weeks, with no other apparent changes in health. She's going to go to the vet soon (needs vaccinations anyway), but until then I was wondering if...
