She is now pooping but still not as much as I think she should be. Her anus and rectal swelling has gone down considerably with the help of preparation h and silver sulfidine. I have made an appt with my vet for a check up and the removal of her purse string stitches. Will keep you posted. Thank...

It seems like she just can’t get the poop out of her rectum. This am’s poop was soft not dry and hard and it still only got to her rectum and stopped. Am wondering if the two purse string procedures have damaged the nerves in her rectum. Would this be possible?

Yes she is eating and drinking normal. She is not however, as active as she was on that first day I brought her home. I have to wait until next week to take her to my vet and was looking for ways to help her. This morning I had to help her poop.

Yes, I do have a regular vet. I will be calling the office in the am to see if they can fit her in soonish. The reason I went to emergency vet was bc it was during the New Year’s Eve weekend and all regular vets were closed. My counties animal control picked up the bill bc it was within 7 days...

Gaia has been to the er vet twice now and the shelter vet twice. She had a rectal prolapse due to diarrhea. They put it back in and did a purse string suture at the er vet but over compensated and she could not pass her poop. Took her back and they removed the stitch and gave her two enemas but...

I’m also going through the same thing but my kitten is only 12 weeks old. Please keep us posted

Thank you CaspersHuman: I had typed a whole reply with a history of my Luna's issues that started in June and just lost the whole lot of it. I hit something and lost the entire reply... :/

Thank you for your responses. Luna is on prednisolone because of IBD/food allergies(she is allergic to chicken). I was aware of the frequent urination side effect but was never told about possible incontinence. She is on 2.5 mg pill every 3 days at the moment. She started with this dose at 2.5...

Hi Everyone: My cat Luna is currently on prednisolone. I am in the process of weaning her off of it (giving it to her every 3rd day), she has been on prednisolone now for about a month and a half. Recently, she has started having accidents just outside her litter box. It looks like she is in...

Oh my! I wanted to feed Luna freeze dry raw, it was actually the first thing I tried but she was having none of it. Our kitties can sure keep us on our toes. Most definitely a labor of love. I hope you find something that agrees with your kitty. Keep us posted.

to become unavailable. I have added dry food (about 1/8 of a cup total) to her meals. I tried Freely rabbit but it gave her diarrhea so she must be reacting to one of the ingredients. I have now been feeding her Instinct limited ingredient diet Rabbit and so far so good.

Artiemom, I hadn't thought about that, it makes sense. I was thinking that by varying her protein that I would keep her from developing an allergy to the rabbit as she would not be exposed to just rabbit. I was also thinking that this would also avoid her not wanting to eat anything else but...

Does it have to be freeze dried? if not, I found a canned food from Red Barn in lamb that I just introduced to Luna's diet this weekend. So far, she is eating it well and it has not flared up her IBD. It is too early to tell but so far so good.

It was pretty quickly. I started feeding her rabbit exclusively on Nov. 19th and by the 21st her poops had become soft but formed and 2 days later or so they were nice and formed and solid.

Unfortunately, chicken is a definite no.
