My cat was hospitalised for constipation a couple of months ago where she had an enema plus xrays and ultrasound. She was put on duphalac until she was pooing normally. She was also very traumatised and stopped eating and needed appetite boosters for three weeks. I reduced her dry food and changed her to dine as it has more gravy in it.
Recently she became constipated again and was put back on duphalac at a much much higher dose plus special diet wet food. She also had two microlax enemas - gel inserted in her bottom, over two visits. The vet also wants her to take cisapride twice a day which I am finding near impossible.
I have been back and forth to the vet. She gradually stopped eating the wet food vomited twice. She was given anti nausea and another microlax enema to be cautious but didn't seem too backed up. She ate fine again yesterday. This morning she just picked at her wet food. I had attempted cisapride half an hour earlier. The wet food has the laxative in it. We also switched her to special diet dry food I stead of the wet.
I am just so frustrated and having spent over $3k already am not sure what to do. I can't afford surgery or hospital. I am not happy with her on cisapride either. I am at the point I may need to surrender her. I just don't know what to do. Medicating her by myself is just near impossible.
