My 7 year old male cat has been suffering from chronic constipation for almost 3 months. Over the past 3 weeks he has had 3 enemas, 2 in one day and one again 4 days ago. The problem, though it clears his colon, he has not pooped since the last enema. Now 3 days. He is on wet food only mixed with extra water, Laxatone 2x daily and Restoralax 1/4 tsp. with each meal. Nothing is working, he eats well, plays, doesn't make trips to the litter box to try. I am wondering is it possible for his body to become dependent on the enemas and how many can he have? Is there a medication for colon motility that he could take? I tried the Metoclopramide 5mg. pills but anything different in his food, he will not touch it. I have tried oils, pumpkin and he won't eat it. He has had 2 xrays and all are fine. Can anyone give me some advice, I don't feel the vets are taking this too seriously and I am worried about megacolon if this keeps happening. He is my baby and though he shows no discomfort, it must be hurting him to not have pooped for so many days. I appreciate any help and thank you. His name is Spazzie and he is my doofus big boy !
