    Slippery elm

    @Astragal14 I am disappointed about the visbiome. Two vets had mentioned it and I did research on it. It had the types of good bacteria she need. I was actually very excited about using it and it helping her.

    Slippery elm

    @CakesCats Thanks my boyfriend did mention that one when we were looking up brand but he was concerned about vegetable glycerin. However maybe it might be worth a shot since it is premade the dosage might be easier. I did also look up the marshmallow root mix they have that @Astragal14 metioned...

    Slippery elm

    I did the math and figured how many ml of fluid per grams of food and how much her water intake should be and adjust it into to her food accordingly. 2 different vets gave me the wrong mls per a cat her size for water intake and it caused an issues as well. We found this out later on. With the...

    @Astragal14 Thank you so much. Ugh it's a lot of info I have several pdf I made with all of it that I bring to vets. Misdiagnoses, meds were prescribed at a high dose by one Vet and caused an overdose and vision problems. Another vet gave her meds that interacted with eachother. Two different...

    @LTS3 Thanks. I did look it up and it does have that dark brown color. I am not sure if she would like it. @lisahe Thanks. I did order the Now brand and the st.christopher's brand but I am still open to try other brands. So I will definitely look into Celebration Herbals. I ordered from...

    Slippery elm

    @LTS3 Thanks. I am not sure. I think one of the brands she had in the past had malt in it. So it might be worth a try. Do you have experience with cat lax? Is it like a beige color or more of a dark brown? It's a shame that so much stuff has been out of stock at chewy the past year and a half...

    @chelsmarie Thank you. In the past when we tried to use pumpkin as a fiber is wasn't doing the trick. So the vet told us to discontinue it. Unfortunately due to her and the food switches I had a hard time finding something she likes that is grain free without pumpkin. We are in the process of...

    Slippery elm

    I know laxatone does something similar to what I am looking for but I have been researching slippery elm and I think that this is what might work but I am completely open to another possible natural remedy. Also I read that long term laxatone can cause issue with nutrient absorption. Since once...

    Slippery elm

    I appreciate your feedback. Something to lubricate her intestines. I thought mirlax is more for bulking up stool and making it softer? This is an issue she had in the past because she was on and off with pill pocket which causes so many issues. Btw everyone should steer clear from that. The...

    She doesn't need much when we do use mirlax we use less than 1/16 a tsp.

    Slippery elm

    We have used mirlax and lactulose in the past. We wanted to try to give her something to help coat her intestines since the poop is formed but it is hard for her to push out. I don't want to use Vaseline because when we use it sometimes on her dry nose and she licks it gives her the runs. I also...

    Slippery elm

    Thanks. Yeah I appreciate it. I have been wanting to use it for a year but she was on other meds in the past. Since those meds are now discontinued we can go ahead and try this.

    Slippery elm

    Thanks but I have used laxatone but I think it doesn't help. She needs something that'll help coat her intestines. Whenever she has laxatone she isn't into it. I think she doesn't like the molasses in it. She doesn't like that. Séems they add that to most vitamin paste and hairball stuff in the...
