Question

Took Max to emergency vet after my dog grab him by the neck tore him like a rag down back and forth. Vet didn't fine anything wrong besides max having arthritis on spinal and hip and his backed up with poop. Since his visit to vet he has not moved much from bed. He's also on pain meds. Vet also recommend Miralax. I've given Miralax mix with wet food. Hes pooped twice last 3 days. He can't jump on to bed by himself. Any advice? Hard on me affording veterinary. I'm unemployed at the moment. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 years and 6 months old | 14 lbs

Max is probably very painful at the moment, it may take up to 2 weeks for him to get back to his normal self, he needs to rest and to take his pain meds, he also must be on antibiotics, if the vet did not give any antibiotics it's crucial that you take him back in order to get some.
