When my girl Siamese Meioko was about 3 years old she was diagnoised with Mega Colon, which caused her to become extremely constipated to the point of no longer being able to eat.The vet and I tried many different types of foods and medications, before it was decided that Laculose with every meal and wet food, very low in fibre is what she seemed to do the best with. Despite this, she still would get so backed up about 3 times a year and would have to go into the vet to be sedated and manually evacuated.
Over the last 2 years her visits to the vet have gone from 2-3 a year to now where basically as soon as I bring her home from the vet, within only a few days she is getting extremely backed up again. The vet said there really isnt much that can be done about this aside from surgery, which he said still wouldnt be a guarantee. Surgery sadly is out of the question for me, as Ive recently become disabled and truly cannot afford the thousands of extra dollars in costs right now.
Anyways thats the background situation. She is currently doing the worst shes ever been. She is beyond weak, to the point of not being able to jump up onto the couch, and has almost zero strength. At this point its looking like I might have to put her down. I guess my question is, how do you know when it is the "right time" to do it? She is eating a little bit, but Ive noticed as of the last few days shes been making a strange crunching noise when she eats that Ive never heard before, despite the fact she is eating wet food.
Any help/suggestions/advice would be welcome and very much appreciated.
