    18 year old cat having trouble pooping

    I called the vet after work today and of course no call back. How much Miralax do you give your senior? My senior is down to about 7lbs. He is losing weight and the vet said the last time I had him there that she feels something is going on but at 18 years old there really isn't much one...
