I read on the Internet that you should not give a kitty more than 1/4 teaspoon per day. When my kitty starts to have soft stools I usually skip a dose completely and by the time he poops again, usually three days later, the stool is fine. He has been on MiraLax for 7 years.
Thanks for your thoughts, Denice. I keep seeing statements that say that MiraLax should not be used long term and my Maine Coon has been on it for at least 5 years, so I wondered if anyone else had read the same thing...no one ever says why it should not be used long term.
Please do not have your Maine Coon put down just because he is 14...one of my Maine Coons lived to be 21; it is not uncommon for this breed to live a long life. Take you kitty to a vet for a check-up.
