FWIW, Miralax has been prescribed for my cat, by 2 different Vets.
I am currently using 1/4 tsp twice a day.
You have to mix the miralax with water...this is very important for it to work properly. It states that on the directions.
You can use it long term, for chronic constipation. I use it myself. It was prescribed to me by a gastroenterologist.
I mix it with water and add it to his food.
The point is to adjust the dose accordingly. You do not want to begin with a large dose. It takes a couple of days to work. Do not keep adding more or stopping suddenly without contacting your Vet. Of course, if there is now diarrhea, then cut back on the dose a bit.
Wet food is better. Also add a bit of water to it. You cat needs that added water to soften his stools.
