We are on poo watch again. Three days since her last poo. I'm giving her Miralax and pumpkin. Tried slippery elm, but she didn't like the taste.

Sending poo vines. @LizzieInTexas uses Marshmallow Root.

Maybe increase the miralax a bit?
Does she drink lots of water (probably a silly question lol)? Maybe add some water to her food?

A product called Natural Moves (available online I think) has helped quite a few poopless kitties here.

Yeah, and Gizmo really likes it. I like it because it thickens up better than SEB and SEB seemed to raise Gizmos BG. I started MMR when I discontinued all other supplements. I discontinued Miralax at the same time. I just wanted to reset everything I was doing with Gizmo to see if I could get him to start eating. He is having at least 1 poo per day. Probably not as soft as I would like but not rock hard either (and going regular).

1/2 capsule in about 1-2 tablespoons of HOT water and stir it up to make the slurry - and then I microwave it for about 10 seconds to help thicken it up. Let it sit and cool while I finish fixing his feeder for the cycle then add it to the PS meal.

Thanks Carla for tagging Lizzie.

Thanks Lizzie! Do you give this once or twice a day? I ordered a different brand because I could get it here tomorrow.

Hey Judy! Yes, I do put quite a bit of water in her food, thanks. I've had a hard time getting the Miralax dose just right. Feast or famine, if you know what I mean...

Thanks Kris, that will be the next thing I try if marshmallow root doesn't work.

I have been giving both cycles.

I open up the capsules and dump contents into small Rubbermaid containers and then use mini-measuring spoons to dose. More accurate and much easier than dealing with a capsule.

1/2 capsule is 1/16 teaspoon.

Thanks Lizzie. I have some of those measuring spoons already, so I'm set for when the MR gets here tomorrow.
