We adopted our 7 year old cat Tilly back in September 2020. Everything was perfect until she had to get some teeth removed in October. The vet we went to told us there was blood in her poop and sent us home with a deworming pill, some painkillers and some probiotic powder.
Since then, Tilly has had a series of digestion problems including liquid poo and her bum was always dirty. After she started bleeding in January we brought her to a new vet. This vet told us she had colitis and put her on high fiber foods which cleared up her poo problems.
However, this vet told us the original vet didn't take out the right teeth, and poor Tilly went into a second surgery to remove all remaining teeth. After the surgery she became so constipated, we were constantly bringing her to the vet for enemas (she received 8 in three days). The poor thing was in so much pain and wasn't at all like herself. She lost over two pounds (she went from 7.6lb to 4.95lb in 3 weeks) as she had stopped eating.
Now she is on cissapride which did wonders for her. Her pooping is great and consistent. Only problem is she is leaking like crazy. It is thin, clear liquid with some darker liquid mixed in. We confirmed with the vet that it isn't anal gland fluid (the smell is not the same).
The vet prescribed steroids for the next two weeks. Our vet is amazing and we are hopeful that this will help, but I was wondering if anyone has had a cat with a similar situation to this? It has been a month and a half of her leaking, she has a good appetite and is acting normal. It's just frustrating for us as we can't hold her and she is staining all of our furniture.
Thank you in advance!
