Laxatone

Hi

Has anybody used this? Vet said no using coconut oil, but seems like others on here are. Vet suggested this product: https://www.amazon.com/Laxatone-2-5...&qid=1520896398&sr=8-3&keywords=laxatone cats

Worried that some of the ingredients are cane molasses, corn syrup, and malt syrup. See strange she would recommend this for a diabetic cat.

Any thoughts?

 

I've never used this but did use Miralax once. Usually I try pumpkin first.

 

Is it for hairballs or a laxative? I use Restoralax (Miralax) laxative for my civvie, Hugo. It's super easy to add to his food. I just add a bit more water to ensure he has enough fluids.

 

Haven't tried pumpkin yet. He's been on miralax since Thursday I think this product is more for maintenance.

 

For a laxative. He's been on Miralax since Thursday

 

How much are you giving? Hugo gets 1/8 tsp twice a day as maintenance. I would try a higher dose if he was still blocked. Pumpkin might make the problem worse as it's high in insoluble fiber.

 

Laxatone contains corn syrup, malt syrup, and can molasses.

 

He was getting in his food, but t now he's not really eating. Yesterday he got 1/4tsp 2 times. Today he'll get 1/4tsp 2 times. Tomorrow he'll get 1/2tsp 2x. I think we will need to maintanence after this.

 

Yeah, that's why I thought it was strange that the vet recommended it.

 

I used Laxatone back in the 90s for a non-diabetic cat for hairballs. I would not want to use it for a diabetic since it is full of all kinds of naughty stuff.

 

Yeah, I'll try something else...
