Miralax works by drawing water from the body tissues into the colon, softening the stool but not adding bulk. It's not a 'fiber'. If cat is prone to constipation, and Miralax works, you can continue this forever. Look for generic equivalents at WalMart, CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, etc. It's cheap and a bottle lasts a long time and keeps forever.
