Laxatone question

My boy, who blocked for urine once a year ago, presented the same
symptoms. So we went off to the vet immediately; she stated he was
blocked with feces, not urine. He has stopped horking hairballs, which
he used to do on a weekly basis. And he's also trying to gobble my
kitten's chow instead of his SD-cd.

So the vet gave me a tube of Laxatone to give him... in the amount of
1/2-1 tsp for 2-3 days, then 1/4-1/2 tsp. 2-3 times a week. Well...

Now I have Laxatone all over the entire house; the tile, the carpet, the
sofa & chairs, etc.... all because I've been rubbing it onto the top of
his paw and also tried smearing it on the bottom of his paw, along with
using his foreleg. The box said to use the paw or nose. Their nose??
Who are they kidding!?

PLEASE... does anyone use this product? Please... _where_ is the best
place to smear it on a cat so they can reach the area to lick it off
themselves... BUT... at the same time, not "fling" it everywhere when
they shake the "offending" limb.

I thank you, my carpet thanks you and my hairy guy will eventually thank
you.

We buy the liquid, Lactulose, from the pharmacy. You put the liquid in a
syringe (without needle of course) and put it in the side of the cat's mouth
and slowly squeeze, while they lick away. Our cat hates this, but she will
not eat the paste.

Oh, Linda- been there, had that!!! Know just what you mean! Have you tried
putting it on the roof of his mouth? Even several smaller doses than one great
gob? Squeeze some on your finger, grab the back of his neck with one hand,
slide the finger into his reluctant mouth. The stuff is supposed to taste okay,
so maybe he'll put up with that. Good luck!!

\ Their nose??
Who are they kidding!?

I did exactly that the first few times I dosed my cat; then she found she
liked the
taste of it. After that, I just fedit to her.

FEED it to your cat, off of your fingers.

I put it on my finger--just a small glob at first, and tried to get her to
lick it. When she did not, I just touched it to her nose, and she licked
it off. Then she went for more. It smells like molasses. Gnarly loved it.
You have to have patience--you can't just try to shove a glob of it
down their throat.

Hi Linda,

Try rubbing the Laxatone on his belly - far down enough for him to reach
it.. Rub it in good so the dab doesn't fall off.

Jade curls up like a shrimp to lick off every drop.
