I wanted to post a quick update. Things are going better. I pulled back for a few days and did more site swapping, then tried letting them see other again and it went better. They aren't friends by any means, but Dalia isn't chasing Penny back up the stairs and they are making progress towards...

When I adopted my cat Dalia, she vomited from stress for two days. The vet can give you a shot or pill to help her stomach.

All of my cats have been like that with strangers. I think it is because they don't know them, so they shy away from being touched by them.

I adopted a now 3 year old cat named Dalia back in August. She is an awesome kitty, very sweet and social. She was with other cats in her foster home with the rescue, but has been my only pet until this past Friday. On Friday, I adopted a two year old kitty named Penny. I have her in the guest...

Honestly, you’ve tried for a lot longer than I would have. If she used the litter box while the boy cat was gone for a day, then i think she needs to be an only cat. I would start reaching out to cat rescues for help in finding her a new home. And this may not be popular, but even if you have to...

Here is what finally got Yoda's colon to work (check with your vet though): Royal Canin Gastrointestinal dry food (prescription from the vet) Lactulose twice a day Cisapride 3 times a day Cascara (an herbal supplement recommended by my vet, but talk to your vet about your situation) Prednisone...

My cat had a similar problem and we have done several rounds of steroids/prednisone with no side effects. If your cat is still having a problem, you might want to just try it.

My cat with mega colon also eats the Royal Canin food and it has helped. She is also on Lactulose, Cisapride, and Cascara, in addition to Prednisone and Cosequin for joint and back problems. I love her and feel awful that she has all this at only 9 years old, but it is a lot to manage. I turned...

When my cat has been cleaned out by the vet, it usually takes around 3 days before she has another bowel movement. And that is while being on Lactulose. You also ask about putting her on cisapride.

Yoda seemed perfectly happy going once every 3 to 4 days, and I had no idea it wasn’t normal. Then I went on vacation and came back to a cat with severe constipation. The first incident 2 years ago cost me $1,200. This latest problem has cost over $2,000 (and counting). This is really not...

I know a lot about this because my cat has serious issues in this particular area. Your cat should be going at least once every 48 hours, according to my vet and everything I have read. Going less than that is concerning. If you can afford it, get a second opinion. Long term constipation issues...

I get the cisapride in capsule form and mix it with the Lactulose to give my cat using the mouth syringe.

What was his diagnosis when he was at the vet?

Yoda is being boarded at the vet’s office while I am on a long planned vacation. I called this morning and they said she is doing okay and did poop while there. So things are going well for now.

I am medicating Yoda three times a day now. She is pretty much used to the mouth syringes once I am able to catch her. Because it is multiple times a day, its a pain. But we've made it work so far. She is on Cisapride and Lactulose, and then Prednisone for unrelated back pain. I will keep doing...

And Yoda just pooped. 4 and a half days this time, but it seems to be the best we can do.

My sister's cat just had the same problem and it turned out to be allergies. But you should let the vet take a look just to be sure. It could also be a cold.

I'm in the same boat with Yoda. For about a week and a half, she was pooping large every 3 days and seemed fine. But now we are at 4 and a half days with no poop and no attempt to poop. I am waiting to hear back from the vet. She is acting fine otherwise, but I am not willing to try the surgery...

Is he still peeing on the bed, or did the medication fix it?

I'm really sorry. Sometimes these things just happen. I had a friend whose dog died at 3 years old. If it is cancer, consider all your options and decide how much money you are willing to spend treating it based on what the prognosis is. I would also ask the vet how likely the cancer is to come...
