[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 361979, member: 1963"] The actual active ingredient in Laxatone is Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) Cat's cannot taste sweet flavors and quite a lot of them won't touch Laxatone. When Iv'e used it; I've always smeared it on the fronts of the forelegs. They will lick it off of there even if they don't like the taste. Don't put it on the paws like some people advise--the cats just track it all over the place. That said; at six days post surgery especially for surgery that involves the pelvic floor muscles and nerves; I'd contact the vet before doing anything more. Speak to the actual vet, not a tech. For tech to recommend manual removal of an impaction is highly irresponsible. This is a medical issue well beyond what a tech should be fooling with. Screwing up on something like this could damage the anal area and leave you with an incontinent cat at best. Best of luck, ToK [/QUOTE]
