...over $2000 this past week going back/forth to ER and the vet for obstipation. Both vets said he’s bordering on them diagnosing him with megacolon given how big his colon was both times (even after enema #1), but want to wait and see b/c it’s rare in young kittens and his blockage could have...

Not sure my experience will be much help - my Daisy has megacolon and is on Cisapride and Osmolax (same as Miralax, that's just the brand name here) twice a day. She'll be on it permanently, or rather, until medication no longer works for the megacolon and she has to have surgery. Good thing is...

Daisy was found to have a heart murmur at about the same age (threeish). No symptoms at all, vet just picked it up during examination. No further action taken - her megacolon has been the issue getting attention.

I found Daisy's megacolon diagnosis and the fears in its first weeks before getting her on Cisapride greatly increased my affection for her - focused it, if you like.

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.

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.
