I have! I think it's just across the board the shortage. When I called Royal Canin and said it was about cat food she immediately said, "Let me guess, you want to know about PD Select Protein..."

I'm going to try all the duck products, and then get a hunting licence I guess!

Ack! I sympathize! I came here while looking for what to do. My sweet cat Ghibli is in the same boat. So far the PD select protein duck wet food from Royal Canin is the only thing he can reliably digest. Of course there may be something else out there, but the trial and error process could kill...

Hi Siameselove03, I'm glad you've had some progress with Nala's care- there's nothing more exciting than seeing a proper fresh poop from a cat that's been so sick and after such desperation! I absolutely understand your anguish and stress- the past few months have been extraordinarily...

Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts! We went ahead with an ultrasound this morning to rule out any inflammation, lymphnode growths or anything else that might indicate we shouldn't go ahead with the colectomy. He has done well on all the tests, with no negative indicators. It doesn't...

Hoo boy.  I really don't know what to do now. We went to see the specialist last week, and she immediately looked grave and sad and said she was pretty sure she felt cancerous lumps in the stricture that has been preventing Ghibli from passing much of anything.  I decided to get a biopsy to...

Thanks Denice.  He has been mostly on wet food for a few years now, but he gets picky about it.  I will check out the thread because I'm sure there will be some good  tips for finicky eaters  And I was sure there must be some kind of yummy tasting thing I could sprinkle on food from time to...

What is it about these cats and their fondness for dry kibble? My big boy Ghibli would love to eat dry exclusively, and will only eat wet food in small quantities at a time (even at the best of times). He's super picky about texture and temperature (wish more canned food came in optional...

Thanks onandahalfcats! I started giving him slippery elm a few days ago, which he seems to enjoy in his food (whew!) especially the gravy-like aspect. I haven't seen results yet, but I feel better about it than the mass amounts of sugary laxatives they have prescribed alongside the cisapride...

Thanks for your reply- it really helps just to have a forum to talk about it! I have read a little bit of your Tim's case as I dip in here and there to the forum posts, trying to learn more. Ghibli has been cleared out a little by recent enemas- he was kept at the vet's for a couple of days 2...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have been trying to read up on the very helpful advice people have shared about their own megacolon experiences but I haven't found anything like my own experience and I'm at my wit's end! Ghibli is a sweet 9 year-old 22-pound cat, probably part Main Coon. He's...
