I have a cat who, while not diagnosed with megacolon, had a major constipation episode. She takes Miralax daily, and I use Laxatone a few times a week...
...again for 5 weeks. I thought he might be allergic to eggyolk, though, as there were drops of blood on his stool, so I switched to eggyolklecithin... 3 days later we got a hairball (after 5 weeks), then 2 days later another one.
Seeing as his behavior and his appetite are fine, I'm not...
Hi! Have you tried mixing a little bit of the eggyolk powder to malt paste? My cat wouldn't eat the powder if I mixed it with his food, but mixed with the paste it was fine. It was like a treat to him. I stopped giving it for months and now we're back at it, and he's finally letting me add it...
...And, that blockage could be hair. In the intestines, hair can congeal into clumps/balls and these can block the passageway. Eggyolklecithin prevents these clumps from forming so the hair just passes through. Here's a snip from an amazing website, FelineConstipation.org, that covers all...
...that he doesn't tolerate eggyolk? Or could this be something he's getting used to, that could eventually go away?
I did order eggyolklecithin too, but haven't given that to him.
His behavior is great. He plays, eats, pees and grooms normally. I've had an acupuncture/osteopathy session...
...Eggyolk powder can absolutely be used to treat constipation. As long as it doesn’t swing it in the other direction (it’s the one caution I have for eggyolk powder or eggyolklecithin—it can work too well!), I think you’re doing great if that simple addition fixed up a long standing problem.
One poop! Not too watery, so hope that means the miralax is leaving her system. Still burying.
Haha, you got that right that things have to be her way.
That was my understanding as well on the poops, that's why I asked, even with the still liquid poop, they said that's likely just the miralax...
Good luck with the eggyolk powder & lecithin. I have a plugged up kitty & she won't eat any of the things I bought, I have almost a whole bag of the Fur for Life dried eggyolk powder & none of my 3 kitties will eat food with it on it. That's why I tried the capsules of lecithin, nope. Same thing!
My cat has hypomotility issues which caused hairball obstructions. My vet suggested Cat Lax. I also learned eggyolk helps with motility and egglecithin helps with hairball.
I’m giving her 1/4 tsp dried eggyolk powder twice a day. Can I add egglecithin at the same time?
Or if he can have eggs, eggyolks are good for hairballs. Dried eggyolks, or eggyolklecithin work well too. One of my cats really like both of those, but the other not so much. You can actually purchase dried eggyolks from Foodfurlife so you don't have to go to the trouble of making them...

A raw eggyolk (no egg white) or a hard cooked whole egg (your choice of cooking method. Boil is probably easiest) that is mashed up and eggyolklecithin is supposed to help.

Besides brushing / combing and hairball remedies sold in pet stores, you can give a raw eggyolk (no white) or powdered eggyolklecithin to help manage hairballs. How Best to Manage Hairballs
...it down rather than have it come back up. I'd hate to add more capsules to her regimen. But we may also try eggyolk powder or eggyolklecithin if I can pack a useful amount into a capsule. I would love it if she loved eggyolk as much as Krista did. That would make all of this hairball...
Hi
The only things I can think of is to add some eggyolk (powder or lecithin) to his food now and then, also possibly some fish oil or a dab of butter on your finger - these can help with hairballs but also help skin and coat, and additionally, maybe try a different type of brush. Here's a...
...currently sold out. But they have a recipe for how to make your own eggyolk powder on this page.

You may also consider eggyolklecithin which you can dose in smaller amounts if she doesn't like eggyolk itself.

...spoke about reducing the dosage....no need for that. A quarter teaspoonful is just fine, as is more or less as required to achieve the desired effect.]
Hairballs have been mentioned and from my experience, the sure-fire preventative for those is eggyolklecithin - more here.
Hoping that helps!
...issue here. You can offer raw yolk, cooked yolk, hard boiled yolk, hard boiled whole egg or cooked whole egg, eggyolk powder, or eggyolklecithin (extracted component of eggyolk.) Unless you cook or eat eggs daily, the amount of egg that goes to the cat is so small that a preparation like...
