This is not temporary constipation, i believe there is sonething i maybe need to add to the food so I can correct it if im causing it, im already giving slyppery elm bark too and its not helping, i hope it isnt her bowels but thanks

Yes more water is good Its raw so its already got lots of liquid but im making it almost soupy now and i have the glacier point pet fountain she drinks lots of water but still constipated

My vet told me the injection is better as I dont have to repeatedly give pills And it would be good for a week and to come back if it persisted, another group i belong to warned me try the pill firs to find out if your pet is allergic or not as there are people there who had a horrific problem...

Sorry forgot to say she eats foodfurlifes easy complete premix

Hi it’s been a while since i’ve been here having trouble navigating without a search bar, I could not find any other constipation thread so i’ll start one. My Pickles is eating raw finally for about 6 mos maybe more she is 18. She has hard skinny poops and they hurt she vocalizes. I have been...

This is an old post but in case anyone is reading today, I have heard about allergic reactions to this drug...not that it happens often but when it does its bad what was suggested to me was INSIST on cerenia PILLS the first time in case of a reaction theyusually try to givea shot that i think...

Re slippery elm bark  I have been told that slippery elm bark can worsen constipation by bulking the stool, yet in my experience its the only thing that works for my cat who is hyperthyroid and CKD  my Holistic Vet suggested it.  Here is a link    ...

I brought a cat in that was trapped from outside in a rubbermaid container, she would not use a closed litter box however the male I trapped would as he was trapped in a real trap. My 2 seniors used them, but they also preferred the open one. Go check out Jackson Galaxy and see why he says...

I know this is an old post but people still read it so Ill put in my 2cents. I had heard that some silica crystal litters were not safe but Dr Elseys is supposed to be different. I do not have the respritory one available in my petsmart in canada but as my senior was peeing soo much Cat...

Have to say what helped besides mirilax for constipation from the baytril was slippery elm bark, it also soothes the stomach, I would mix about 1/4 capsule in hot water mix, it gels up then you either put in food spoon or syrynge it in with a food syrynge, it got him going faster.

I am totaly confused about UTI and crystals now. What I read on the net regarding PH and what the vet says are totaly different. The vet trys to turn me off of concerning myself with my cats ph values. Is the vet just trying to keep me from handling the situation on my own? Not one vet has...

I agree get you cat off the dry, dry food in general is bad, later in his/her life you,ll pay the price in vet bills. I used to feed my cats dry kibble and evo or origin grain free but at first it was others that were limited grain like blue buffalo, but Still! they ended up one hyperthyroid...

One of my cats has cracked chapped paws, she also has slightly swoollen lips, my hyperthyroid cat maxed my credit card so I cant afford tests. This cat is borderline hyperthyroid. She had long hair and I find it difficult to cut the hair on her paws, I have to fight with my spouse to get him...

I have a senior cat who has been on Tapazole Tablets.  I sure notice on these posts that so many of you are seeing the same symptoms.  I honestly believe the veterinary clinics don't always tell us the side effects. when I ask what the side effects are sometimes I get a strange look from the...

Thank You. I will keep giving it regularly, If I stop, her stools immediately get hard, pumpkin does not help and the mirilax takes a while to work so gonna give daily and up dose only if needed. She only gets wet so not sure why she gets constipated I suspect from the thyroid meds though the...

Be sure to give the digestive enzymes with wet food not alone!

I have a qustion to you miralax users. Is it o.k to use long term?? I know with humans if you use laxatives long term the bowels become lazy and they come to rely on laxatives. all of the time which is not good, is it the same for cats? I have 4 cats two rescued from outside two seniors. I...

thank you I will try that on Nellie, however Pickles the one with poop stuck halfway out bit yet it was soft, I am unsure if the problem was too much fiber or constipaion, she usually poops regularly but it is typically hard.

I am totally confused now, I have 2 senior cats. Both get wellness canned food every day, the only flavor they seem to like is chicken & herring. 1 cat, the non hyperthyroid (pickles) gets some dry like tbsp or so. So why then are my cats getting constipated?? the hyperthyroid cat (nellie)...

sorry I replied but it did not show up under your comment, I have to learn how this works.  I have noticed they are putting carageenan in canned foods now for the past year or two almost every brand has switched to this from guar guar gum.  Weruva brand sells some that say "carageenan free" you...
