Dee, thanks for the reminder about psyllium husk. It’s an effective and inexpensive remedy. Just be sure to add water; don’t sprinkle it over dry food or you cat may choke.
For the slippery elm I find it best to make a fairly thick gruel that can either be mixed with wet food or given by syringe.
Garlic is an anti-microbial and useful if you think your pet may have an infection of the bowel and cats generally love it.
I’ve never used aloe for this particular problem except as part of an over-the-counter organic remedy. The pure jelly is an essential part of my pet first aid kit, however, and is a gentle lubricant. For advice on how and how much to administer I would have to recommend that you talk to your veterinary professional.
