...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...

Hello all, Would like desperate help with my cat. She's about 6 years old. She has had constipation for a while now, about 2 years or close to that. Whenever it happened I would take her to the vet to get an enema. About half a year ago or so the vet told me to use Hilli's gastroinsential...

First I’ll explain Pip’s history. For the last couple of months he has been struggling with occasional constipation. I have tried a couple different remedies which have kept him going up until this point. I have tried pumpkin and pumpkin powder but he didn’t like it and it didn’t seem to work. I...

Ghost had a heart murmur detected today. The vet didn't give us a level but he will go for an ultrasound. We don't have a date yet as labs etc are closed because of the storms. So he's likely had this problem since we got him in July. He's young so it could still be congenital or acquired...

The following has links to important aspects of Willy's treatment and has obviously been added later. To read the initial post, scroll down. Willy has large-cell lymphoma (LCL), also called high-grade lymphoma. When I started this thread, I hadn't received a diagnosis yet, hence the title...

Hello all. I've been feeding Ritz raw for about 13 years; she is now 15. Rotation of pork, poultry (chicken and turkey) and beef.. She periodically overgrooms, about every six months. Medication clears it up. But she has been overgrooming since March, when I started fostering four kittens...

...Fiber Response diet, can you please let me know. My kitty is highly constipated .. a few yrs ago he was diagnosed with this condition Megacolon. Unfortunately his food is not available and he is constipated. It is out of stock everywhere, also is there anything I can give him so he could go...

Tigger's started to get a bit confused and forgetful, she's going into the vet on Wednesday to investigate this She'll see me putting food in her bowl but she doesn't seem to recognise the fact that food has gone into her food bowl - just by watching me filling the food bowls up for both girls...

Hi! My first post here. My 10yo cat has been diagnosed with megacolon on july 2022 and had to be manually emptied by the vet. After that, I followed the vet's guidelines and started giving him high on fiber dry food which kept him ok for almost 9 months. Since december 2022 up until now, he got...

I was feeding my cat home-prepared raw food for a couple of years, and she did great on it... until she didn't. First she developed an allergy to eggs, then to the chemicals in store-bought chicken. Beef made her stools soft, and rabbit she didn't tolerate at all. And now she's become allergic...

Please help My 14 year old cat has prolapsed his rectum 16 times He had another stitch put in on the 24th November but I'm, worried the stitch is too tight as he can't poo right His bum sticks out and was told it's abnormal due to so many surgeries, the stitch is kept in otherwise he will...

I'll admit this might partially be to vent, but my 14 year old cat has been going through a series of issues, and we can't afford the vet anymore. It started around Christmas, she stopped eating, she's done this before, where she was just being picky about her food, so the husband and I may...

I had a conversation a little while ago with one of the vets at Pumpkin's clinic. We were going over his medical hx, most notably the constipation issue. Somehow we wandered into the subject of having to let go of our pets. I told her I am not ready and she reminded me of how old he was and...

Hi. My cat Marley is only 6 but the vet thinks he may have megacolon. He's constipated but the strange thing is he's eating and drinking normally and seems fine in himself. Just doing normal cat things. Has anyone else encountered this ?

...tried! I'm terrified the straining is going to irritate his entire system again and throw us into another vomiting flare-up or turn into megacolon. Thanks so much for reading this super long post from a newbie! I'll attach a picture of Percy for the forum tax. He is truly a good boy. :) He...

...feces. The plan was to do multiple enemas with manual extraction with control x-rays in between. Vet initially said, its borderline megacolon. Not there yet from what she could tell, but possible. Today (Wednesday) she called me to pick him up. She said the latest enema she removed a lot of...
