Tink is a blue point siamese and I know that constipation is common in that breed. He's been on Science Diet (bad food but I didn't know it back then), which gave him very serious bouts of constipation (had to have enemas), Natural Balance (more frequent constipation but self-correcting), and now Wellness (canned), which this this is the first bout since changing food last June (which, is actually pretty good, considering how frequent (every 2 weeks) he had it before). On the Natural Balance, we tried the kitty treats with papain and pumpkin, which did nothing. (Pet-a-malt doesn't work either). I like the Wellness. Overall, he does well on it--good coat, good energy, bright eyes, good weight ... and he likes it! But I would like to see him have NO constipation....the muscle spasms that go with it are painful (although with the Wellness, he just seems to be uncomfortable, it is better) and he does have a water fountain.
Has anyone been able to prevent constipation? What did you do?
