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.

You can put a kitty t shirt on him to stop the initial licking but trim his back nails because he can still scratch his ears and face. My cat had an allergic reaction to a flea and tick med given to her by the shelter. I stopped giving it and put her on a novel protein diet (lotus just juicy...

I know this is way late but someone else may get something from it. I found VetriScience DMG (you can get it from Chewy) helped my cat with his allergies and sometimes he would get the watery eye as well.

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.

Hi! I did use the drops in the beginning but I was also using the cisapride because it took a week for the cisapride to fully kick in, then I stopped using the drops, so I couldn't say if they would work on their own but I do think they helped while waiting for the cisapride to begin to help. My...

Rocky came home this past Friday evening. He's doing well and pooped on his own Saturday night and today! Lots of poop but it's not formed yet. We will get there. I'm just glad he's pooping on his own!

I hope so. He's staying in the hospital one more night. They said a lot of runny poop came out last night but still needs a little more. I went to see him and bring his meds and food. He wants to escape lol. That's a good sign... hope we can get him straightened out. Thanks for your response.

Thanks. I have all those things ready for when he comes home. Luckily he likes the RC food (I got the canned). Maybe it will all be ok once things get in his system and get regulated. I'm familiar with giving fluids per my cat that passed away at age 20 from kidney disease.

So far, the ER visit has yielded no hard poop findings, just a lot of diarrhea after a night of one enema, fluids, and manual check under anesthesia. They think it's just a motility issue. I wonder if all his straining after the initial problem of diarrhea that swung back to constipation caused...

He's getting fluids and cleaned out at the ER vet. This vet actually said everything the megacolon group has said needs to happen, so I feel better. I'll feel even better when he gets home!

Thanks. I joined the megacolon group also and my old CKD group membership was still active. I will definitely use their info for constipation. Rocky is at the ER getting cleaned out and fluids. He needs a fresh start and I will restart miralax (increased) when he returns with cisapride probably...

I joined the megacolon group. I was with the CKD group for my other cat that passed in 2017 and it was a godsend, so I hope to get some insights there. I value the experience of others when it comes to cats...

I have an appointment to take him in to the specialist and went ahead and set up an appointment with a new vet for second opinion. My current vet has pretty much dumped me off on the ER/Specialist hospital. I don't feel very confident in their care at this point either but no other option. The...

I'm gonna try the drops. I ordered them this weekend. I can't afford anymore vet visits for zero answers and no help. I managed my cat before naturally and the meds aren't working. I'll keep using them but I'm consulting with a holistic vet this week. I'm fed up...

Thanks for posting your situation. I am in a similar predicament and am spending myself into debt with little answers. I noticed my cats potassium is low as per the bloodwork so I may try the Renal K plus. In my experience with a previous cat with kidney disease, I got more help from the support...

Well, he strained this morning and vomited from it. So, now I have to decide if I go back to the same place or get a third opinion. I called them early this morning, they've yet to call me back...I have a vet teaching hospital here but one of my clients (I do pet sitting) who was in vet school...

The Doc wants to give it a little more time. He was cleaned out pretty good Thursday and hasn't eaten a lot (my doing) and is on a low residue diet. I wonder if the cisapride is working his colon and there's just not a lot in there? The Doc was actually happy I'd seen a few pea-sized poops and...

Rocky is really trying to go but producing little to nothing. Maybe a drop or two. Called the vet specialist that treated him but she's not in so the Doc on call will review his case. They may try something else. They said Cisapride should work in a couple of days. It's not and Rocky is...

I forgot I had prescription food diets from the vet (not the specialist but my original vet) but she wanted me to wait until he was eating so as to not make him hate the prescription food. I am not big on prescription diets but hey, if it works I'll try it. So, I went and picked up the royal...

To add, I've tried slippery elm over the years since I am familiar with it that I used to give to another cat that has since passed. It doesn't seem to do anything for Rocky. Cascara Sagrada was more effective at giving him a good colon cleaning (he doesn't mind the taste), so I gave him once a...
