I know I sound like a broken record, but Mitties is plugged up yet again. I just don't get it. I've done EVERYTHING, tried EVERYTHING, followed all the directions to a T. I switched her to a high-quality, all wet diet. Added extra fiber to her food, give her stool softeners prescribed by the vet, bought her a water fountain, and put extra water bowls throughout the house, and give her hairball medicine daily. Yet she continues to get plugged up! Seems to happen every 4-5 weeks. She'll be doing so good, with perfect stools, then..... NOTHING. For 3-4 days. I hold off on giving her enemas until it's absolutely needed. She has been making several trips to the litter box which is the indicator. And no, this is not a UTI. It's DEFINITELY constipation. I am practically a pro at spotting the symptoms of it now, it's happened so much.
I did finally give her an enema yesterday but it did absolutely nothing (which is unusual. Usually it comes right out within an hour.) I also gave her another one just barely; so far, nothing.
I hate seeing her like this. The X-rays and bloodwork came back fine; no megacolon. I just don't know what to do anymore. It's not like she's not trying. She's still eating and drinking fine, and acting normal, except for her constant trips to the litter box. I know she's uncomfortable but sometimes she refuses to show it. Poor thing. I just don't know what to do.....
