I've been. Using lactoluse. Awful. Sticky stuck I'm. Keeping close eye on him. He's had 2 enemas and has a stitch in. Bum which keeps getting stuck on poo

...site as my recently departed cat had the same problem as you. (He actually passed away of liver cancer, not anything related to this.) Nelson had megacolon and lactulose and enemas were useless - the only thing that fixed the problem was a product called Miralax, so I'd recommend looking into...

...a few years ago where his hips became narrow as they healed. We have been dealing with constipation and have had a few vet visits with enemas, which worked right away and we are done. However this time is different and I’m seriously lost :( I took him to the er vet Thursday night for an...

...My suggestion would be to arrange for this as soon as you possibly can! The IV therapy is the very best way to thoroughly hydrate a constipated cat and should be action #1 when enemas are thought to be necessary (and begun). If started (even) now, that could save the day! Keep us posted! .

My kitty was VERY plugged up (entire colon stuffed with poop). The vet gave him enemas twice, 3 days apart, and I gave him lactulose at home. And it worked! He was all cleared up at his next checkup. He now gets 1/4 teaspoon Miralax and 1/2 tsp. of whole psyllium seed mixed with water into a...

I use Miralax 1/4 tsp mixed in some Delectable Lickables, a cat treat. encourage water and a sliver of a human suppository could be used too. Consult your vet about any use of these. They have enemas, suppositories, and supplements on Amazon too!

You can't get can pumpkins in UK She only had 1 enema. Left her half full of poo With toby he had to have 2 enemas 2 in the afternoon another following morning So I'm assuming 1 enema can't get all the poo out Seems crazy that 2 anathestic are needed to clear out all poop I def think ages...

...So, we gave him the enema and he didn’t poop. We brought him back this morning and they have sedated him, got him on fluids, and are doing enemas to try to clean him out. The vet said she will do as much as possible to avoid something more invasive and that she will work with us on price bc...

Yes, he did have to have a few enemas and I only noticed he needed them as he would do a lot of straining and produce nothing. A few times, it was just a solid piece "right there" and barely any sedation was needed, but a few times it was much worse. The miralax helped him a lot!

...dry kibble as his supper time treat, but very quickly ended up with hard dry stools again. And the vet X-ray shows he’s backed up again. the enemas, manual extraction and a week at the vet before being told to go home and see if a familiar environment would help, all sound very familiar … I...

...I made the decision, Artie refused 5 different foods. I ran out of food options for him. I was running around like a mad woman for him to have enemas. I was shaking, crying from all the stress—realizing that this is the “end” of time with my soul-cat. I suddenly realized that this was not a...

What did you give your cat when you brought him home to help him go on his own? Same exact thing with my Pip, he won’t go for the vets. I just got off the phone with my vet and he says I can take Pip home this afternoon, he’s still not pooping on his own and not eating, so the vet is thinking...

At home enemas are kind of scary, but hopefully it did the job for you, and you won't have any repercussions from it. Another thing to try, if the Miralax can't keep her going, would be a small sliver from a baby suppository. I'd do that before another enema, IMO. Hopefully, it won't be needed.

...massive poop') cleaned him out, it can take some time until he goes again, but it depends on the type of food he eats and how much. As mentioned above, it's of advantage to know how to palpate the cat. I even went as far and had my vet show me how to do enemas at home. A priceless skill to have!

One of my cats poops every 2-3 days... she has pushed it to longer,,,,but she also has had to have enemas twice. She takes miralax and lactulose, too. She is an old lady and was always an infrequent pooper, but it is only in recent years that she has needed an enema.

...a sliver of infants glycerin suppository. You are giving the same meds that we gave my disabled daughter's ESA cat and she lived to be 18. She did have to be hospitalized for enemas once (cats should have enemas done professionally and it's done in small increments over a long period of time).

...the verge of coming out. The vet was confident it was just poop and not a foreign body because it wasn't up in the digestive tract. They ran 2 enemas that didn't clean her out, so they put her under and the vet manually removed what he could. He told me that he only removed what he could...

...whole psyllium seed mixed into wet food with added water to dissolve the Miralax. The vet only gave him lactulose for a few days until the enemas he got worked to clean him out. Mirtaz gel is great for kitties with sluggish appetites. I only give it every few days. I do think your kitty...

Can I use laxatone for constipation? One vet suggested Miralax, but I thought I might try the laxatone. She doesn't have hairballs but about two weeks ago had to get two enemas for her constipation.
