Hi!
I’ve been told that my cat has some bowl issues. We have tried everything the vet has said we should change (diet/food, lactolose etc). We will now start Cisapride and I’ve been told my cat will need medication for the rest of her life - twice a day.
Is there anyone here who has similar life with their cat? How do you do it all? What do you do if you have to go away for work etc and can’t make it home for medication? How do you make the cat comfy with taking medicine?
My struggle is knowing if I’m doing the best for her. She hates getting medicine (I’ve tried hiding in food, nibbles etc), and she is already running from me after 4 weeks with lactolose.. now knowing this will be forever makes me sad for her, as I don’t want to cause her stress, but I also wants her to be healthy and good and not constipated. At the same time I know it for me can be difficult as I have a job where I all of a sudden have to go on a businiess trip for a night or two. I have colleagues that can help feeding, but my cat won’t let them pick her up (she knows which humans she likes - there is 6 of us, and just me that actually lives close by).
So I just need some experience how people have done it with their furry friends
