my kitten is having a hard time pooping...it just started yesterday so i called the vet and they told me to get some hairball medicine and give it to him 3 times a day until he's better...what kind has the most amount of "laxitive" in it to help him better? also what kind has a better taste so my kitten will eat it willingly instead of me having to force him

Petromalt is the best. It is petroleum jelly based and every cat that I have had except for one has loved it. I left the tube out once and the cats got to it.
They carry it at Petsmart.

I've never had to fork out the money on actual hairball medicine. I buy hairball control treats, and if they seem to be needing to yak I put a little vaseline on their leg and they lick it off and it lubes up the works and it makes it easier on them.

go to petsmart and get some tuna flavored laxatone. when my cat was constipated, my vet gave me a 6cc syringe and told me to give him 2 of those 3 times a day.
