Why do one has to take in a milk of magnesia when he or she has an in digestion problem?

Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) is most commonly found as a liquid. The magnesium in the liquid can both neutralize excess stomach acid and, if taken in slightly larger doses, act as a saline laxative. This means that the magnesium works to pull salt or a saline solution from the blood into the intestines, therefore increasing the amount of water in the intestines and causing a laxative action. Milk of magnesia is generally considered to be one of the more gentle laxatives, as opposed to stimulant laxatives such as Dulcolax.

Can taking Milk of Magnesia daily be harmful?

I was told by my doctor to use it daily to prevent the constipation i encounter. I asked if i could use it daily without any problems and he said (quote) "yes you can use it for a year and stop or use it the rest of your life". If taking it daily, you should also take a multi-vitamin, or just a potassium pill, or eat a banana. This is because the bowel movement associated with Milk of Magnesia removes much of the potassium in your body. So you need to replace the potassium as often as you take the Magnesia.

Well if you have a baby mouse with no fur what you should feed it warm puppy or kitten milk (not cow milk, that can cause diarrhea) using a syringe. If you don't have a syring, you can use a piece of string until you can get one, just soak it in the milk until a drop forms at the end. If the baby mouse does not drink it take it to the closest RSPCA.
