I have taken in an outdoor cat who has numerous problems. This cat, a male polydactyl named Lynx. He has Feline Immunodeficiency, and kidney problems. His age, I don't know, at least over 10 years. But he was so hungry, he was eating bird seed under our bird feeder in the middle of Winter. Who could resist taking this determined fellow in. Well, from an outdoor insulated Kitty Tube, he gradually became an "indoor" cat. Long story short, he is constipated seriously for the second time in six months. He went to the vet this last Friday. Three enemas later, nothing. Well, when I picked him up, I got the "quality of life" speech. I'm not ready to put him down. We've taken care of him for 4 years. Ive had him on 1.5 ml of Lactulose and the same Cisapride, twice a day. This has been bumped to three times a day. I've been mixing in a fiber supplement, equate from Wal mart, in his wet food. Is there a good stool softener out there to get things moving. Ive read everything I can on cat constipation and have not seen a good solution. Oh, I also just ordered some Lax ese on line. Not ready to give up yet on Lynx.
