Question 1

Has anyone used this as a laxative and how were the results

Accepted Answer

It works great as a laxative. One of my cats gets constipated periodically. After giving him laxatone everyday for about 5 or 6  days, I see a huge improvement. Then just a couple times a week. I keep the laxatone in the refrigerator, when I squeeze the tube, it comes out more like toothpaste, easier to give to the cat. I squeeze the tube of laxatone on my index finger, about the same amount if it was toothpaste on a toothbrush, 1/3 to 1/2 inch long. ( The tube says 1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon).  I tilt the head back, open the cat's mouth & place the laxatone on the roof of the mouth. Works great, no runny mess & my cat gets the treatment. I have a multi cat household & this gets the job done & quickly. Good luck!

Question 2

Is this dark amber colored & a firm consistency?

Accepted Answer

It's not quite as firm as Petromalt--not like a very solid squirt of Vasoline, say--but I find that my older cat is more likely to finish it as she doesn't have the difficulties of losing a 'chunk' that won't spread or stick.  She eats it off the back of my hand & practically scrapes the skin off to make sure it's all gone...I've never had better luck with hairball remedy dosing!
