My cat has been dealing with constipation for a couple weeks now. Going, but has straining and in hard pieces. He has chronic kidney disease and the aluminum hydroxide gel powder binder I use for him to bind the phosphorous in his food may be contributing to his constipation, as also the famotidine (Pepcid) injections may. I've been giving him 1/8 tsp of Miralax, but before I bought that I gave him some of the tummy fiber. I was thinking of adding the Heather's Tummy Fiber back in, but am not sure how much to use for a cat. He weighs only about 6.5 lbs right now. I have measuring spoons to measure almost any fraction of a tsp. I just mixed in a little less than 1/2 a tsp into his food tonight with extra water--dissolving the fiber in the water first. I hope that wasn't too much? Any guidelines to using the fiber for cats?
