    Food allergies

    I used Lotus raw for one of my cats who had megacolon. It helped with his allergies plus no bone didn't constipate him. Not sure it will work for your cat but maybe worth checking out. Small batch has been good for some cats but I couldn't feed due to bone content.

    Scratching and licking

    You can put a kitty t shirt on him to stop the initial licking but trim his back nails because he can still scratch his ears and face. My cat had an allergic reaction to a flea and tick med given to her by the shelter. I stopped giving it and put her on a novel protein diet (lotus just juicy...

    Allergies

    I know this is way late but someone else may get something from it. I found VetriScience DMG (you can get it from Chewy) helped my cat with his allergies and sometimes he would get the watery eye as well.

    Overgrooming / Stress / Protein Intolerance?

    Lotus raw doesn't use bones. Not sure about the other ingredients but I've fed it to my cat who had megacolon and allergies and he did fine on it.

    Megacolon in cats - Need information

    Hi! I did use the drops in the beginning but I was also using the cisapride because it took a week for the cisapride to fully kick in, then I stopped using the drops, so I couldn't say if they would work on their own but I do think they helped while waiting for the cisapride to begin to help. My...

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    Rocky came home this past Friday evening. He's doing well and pooped on his own Saturday night and today! Lots of poop but it's not formed yet. We will get there. I'm just glad he's pooping on his own!

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    I hope so. He's staying in the hospital one more night. They said a lot of runny poop came out last night but still needs a little more. I went to see him and bring his meds and food. He wants to escape lol. That's a good sign... hope we can get him straightened out. Thanks for your response.

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    Thanks. I have all those things ready for when he comes home. Luckily he likes the RC food (I got the canned). Maybe it will all be ok once things get in his system and get regulated. I'm familiar with giving fluids per my cat that passed away at age 20 from kidney disease.

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    So far, the ER visit has yielded no hard poop findings, just a lot of diarrhea after a night of one enema, fluids, and manual check under anesthesia. They think it's just a motility issue. I wonder if all his straining after the initial problem of diarrhea that swung back to constipation caused...

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    He's getting fluids and cleaned out at the ER vet. This vet actually said everything the megacolon group has said needs to happen, so I feel better. I'll feel even better when he gets home!

    Help me figure out a solution to my cat's constipation

    Thanks. I joined the megacolon group also and my old CKD group membership was still active. I will definitely use their info for constipation. Rocky is at the ER getting cleaned out and fluids. He needs a fresh start and I will restart miralax (increased) when he returns with cisapride probably...

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    I joined the megacolon group. I was with the CKD group for my other cat that passed in 2017 and it was a godsend, so I hope to get some insights there. I value the experience of others when it comes to cats...

    Megacolon new diagnosis

    I have an appointment to take him in to the specialist and went ahead and set up an appointment with a new vet for second opinion. My current vet has pretty much dumped me off on the ER/Specialist hospital. I don't feel very confident in their care at this point either but no other option. The...

    Megacolon in cats - Need information

    I'm gonna try the drops. I ordered them this weekend. I can't afford anymore vet visits for zero answers and no help. I managed my cat before naturally and the meds aren't working. I'll keep using them but I'm consulting with a holistic vet this week. I'm fed up...

    Help me figure out a solution to my cat's constipation

    Thanks for posting your situation. I am in a similar predicament and am spending myself into debt with little answers. I noticed my cats potassium is low as per the bloodwork so I may try the Renal K plus. In my experience with a previous cat with kidney disease, I got more help from the support...
