Hi folks,

When Sammy was diagnosed, she could barely walk because of the weakness in her hind legs. She would hobble a few steps at a time, swaying from side to side, and sometimes her legs would give out and she would fall over sideways. It was so sad. But now Sammy has her old stroll back :-D She even runs after me at meal times, trotting daintily on the tips of her toes! It's so heart warming, seeing her coming back to her old self.

She's started grooming again (yay!) and now has that hairball cough, so I started her on coconut oil for hairballs (2.5 ml 2x/day). I just put it in a dish and she laps it up!

Her poo was dry and hard this AM. I'm considering adding Miralax to her daily regimen. How much should I start with, and how should I give it to her? Mixed in with her food? Is it best to add water?

Hope everyone has a great day. It's getting late here, so I'll be heading to bed soon. Good night I-)
 
Sorry, i can't help with the Miralax. I just wanted to stop by and say
WHOOOO HOOO FOR Day 6!!!
It's wonderful to hear Sammy's legs are good enough for her to run after you! :-D :-D :-D :-D I hope she gets rid of that yucky ol hairball soon.
Sleep well,
hugs and scritches from us
 
My vet told me to start with 1/8 teaspoon of the Miralax, mixed with food. I add an extra tablespoon of water to the 1.5ounces of food because the Miralax works by drawing water from elsewhere in the body.

My vet said I could try once a day, twice a day if necessary (I do sometimes) and increase up to 1/4 teaspoon a day. Back off on the dose amount if the poos are too runny.

Trial day six,
Sammy's up to her tricks!
Got her old stroll back
those nails go clickty clack,
Walking on those tippy toes,
She's one of the sugardance pros!

:RAHCAT Go Sammy Go! :RAHCAT
