I have 2 indoor/outdoor cats that went to the vet a couple of days ago because they quit using the litter box.
They are not going in the house and I was concerned they were plugged up. She assured me they were not plugged up and probably just quit going inside and holding it until they go outside.
Even though that is such a huge change in their habit I assumed she was right. Up to this point using the litter boxes has never been an issue. I keep them cleaned and haven't moved them at all. Puzzling.
I noticed one trying to poop in the litter box today and struggling with very little coming out. I am still concerned that it might be a medical issue but perhaps it's just constipation at this point.
Called the vet and was told to give them 1/2 teaspoon full of Milk of Magnesia per the bottle instructions.
Both cats are 1 year old males and eat both dry and canned food with extra water added to the canned.
Looking on the internet several others have tried pumpkin.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
