I was told it's due to using the milk replacement that I have. The humane society told me to add Karo syrup to the milk but it hasn't helped. At the moment I can't afford a vet bill so I'm desperately trying to find a home remedy. Is trying miralax a good alternative and if so how much would I use

What kmr do you use? Its true changing kmr often helps.

Karo is good for weak kittens.
Against constipation you add some oil!
Coldpressed olive canola or cocoa oil. 2-5 drops with each meal - depends on how old kittens are.

Mineral oil is nex step.

Miralax can prob be used just a little. But try with oil first.

Be also sure they are well hydrated

How old are the kittens?

Are you using powdered or canned milk? Which brand?
