hello guys i was away at college and came back to a very constipated, straining, uncomfortable cat so i rushed her to the vet
unfortunately she was severely backed up with hard stool and had to have an enema with 3 days of overnight stay at the vet. she passed some stool but not all of it in that time and the vet sent her home on 1ml of lactulose 2 times a day and said to prepare to put her down. she has a tumor in her pelvis region that cannot be surgically removed but was physically examined ( felt ) by a surgeon during her stay there. so far she's passing small individual pellets every few hours. overall she's eating, drinking, and peeing just fine while not straining ~ too ~ much during pooping but simply not passing much. we switched her to a wet food diet in the last week and have made sure to pour water with the food AND occasionally syringe give her water just in case. is there anything i can do or should we put her down? i don't think forcing another enema will do anything except buy me time with her but she doesn't seem to be in pain though i'll never truly know because she could be hiding it.
i might add that she's a 9 years old feline, 5lbs and the surgeon is overly confident it's cancer though only wrote off that she had a colon abnormality, mass on her paperwork
