@clevergirlcats, did the vet mention "mega-colon" as a possible problem?

I understand what your saying Yes the stitch was corrected and looks much better It's just all this stress on the cat and more surgery and costs, could it have been avoided if the stitch was done properly on the first place Now he's at risk of further mega colon s

That was my big worry too. Luckily, his ultrasound was perfectly normal except for the "mild all-over thickening" of the intestinal lining (which led to the presumed IBD diagnosis). I've heard that IBD & megacolon can go hand in hand like two horrible besties, though, so of course I want to get...

...a second opinion with an internal medicine specialist. This is a serious condition. Hss as ve radiographs been done? Has the vet mentioned mega colon? Sometimes a.neurological problem can cause the muscles in the colon to not work properly. Sometimes severe constipation can stretch the colon...

...recuperation. If no vet is able to talk to you when you pick him up, make it clear that you need some kind of a consultation about the mega colon and preventive measures. There are ways to manage it, but try to find out from your vet first what they are recommending. As for the pumpkin, it...

...but got the out of hours, a snotty reception told me to call back later I. Explained it's an. Emergency and I'm. Worried Toby may get a mega colon and that hes licking his bum and had tried to poo but nothing comes out I said please tell all. This to the vets does he need a scan and he's...

...to a specialist. You need a veterinarian who is board certified in internal medicine. I would get in to one of those as soon as possible. Mega colon is difficult in cats and in my opinion, regular veterinarians just don’t have the knowledge and experience to adequately handle it properly. I...

So my 6 year-old boy developed constipation issues, I'm guessing because he refuses to drink water. Fortunately he hasn't developed mega colon, and the miralax + lactulose seems to be helping him, but I need advice on what to feed him. I will be keeping him on canned/wet food, but the problem is...

...If the suture were going to be removed, it would be one thing. Since it isn’t, they can’t leave you with a cat in this condition. If the suture is actually fine, then the next step becomes that they have to figure out if there is something else that is causing an obstruction like mega colon.

My cat has been living with constipation for years and has been sedated around 5 times to have several intensive deobstipations. The last one ended up really bad he ended up with a UTI. We are having the surgery on Wednesday. Most of the posts I have read are old. Anyone have experience...

Yes, I had a cat that would regularly go 36-48 hours, and was also on Miralax. He was a frequent flyer at the vets office, and though he lived for 15 years he never developed mega colon (which was a huge concern of ours). I'm very surprised he never got it!

Hi all. My 14.5 year old female kitty just got diagnosed with mega colon. She was put on Cisapride last Satruday. Started it Sat. AM. I give it to her at 7am and 7pm. Then I feed her at 7:30 am (per vet instructions-wait 1/2 hour) and 1:ish (no cisapride given) and again at 7:30pm.(1/2 hour...

I have given enemas, but only to a small cooperative dog. If this is going to be an ongoing issue, I would ask the vet to show you how (it's not the most fun thing in the world, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought.) Have they checked him for mega colon?

...He is also aware that this is not a long term solution as the laxative contains sugar and could cause diabetes also! The vet said it’s not Mega colon. I may look at getting a second opinion before we go down the route of injection. The laxative is helping her go somewhat, but as soon as we...

...of the other two types but one is IBD resulting from parasites and the other is IBD resulting from food allergies. No signs of cancer or mega colon were found. The specialist said she's hoping the FISH test results will come in next week, but feels like the biopsy results are more than...

Bert was just diagnosed with mega colon (I don't know why my old vet didn't pick this up a month ago on Xray). Anyway the new vet wants to put him on Cisapride 3 times a day. I'm okay with this. I'm also waiting for the compounding pharmacy to call with a price. So I'm curious... 1. How many...

...and will take her 3 times today and tomorrow to them to continue laxative. Now here's my question. Both clinics are saying she has mega colon. First clinic is saying to only give her wet food two times a day, and to continue giving her enema whenever it's needed. However, the doctor there...

That’s good to know, too! If you don’t mind my asking, did he ever have to have enemas, or were his visits unrelated to poo or the lack of?
