My 1 yr. old male cat, Cosmos, is still scootching (he arrived as a rescue cat scootching). He has been dewormed with Drontal (2 doses - 3 wks. apart), had his anal glands checked (in other words, seen the vet). Currently he is on Revolution. Cosmos eats wet (canned) food. Increasing his water intake helps (adding water to canned food - as he stopped drinking water when he went from dry to wet food). Removing chicken from his diet seemed to help even more as his pooh is not as horrendously smelly as it was. Unfortunately, I saw him scootch again after two weeks, so I have started increasing his water intake again. Is this mostly a male cat thing? His sister is clearly of a different father, but she has no issues (she does not drink water either).
Panacur treatment was suggested. I feel like I am going in circles. He does not show any of the symptoms for giardia...? I am a biologist and have been working carefully to make sure I am changing only one variable at a time, but I am not sure throwing chemicals at him with little rational is wise.
I do think his feces are firmer than I would expect. I am thinking of adding pumpkin in his diet for fiber. I had good luck with it when I had a cat with megacolon.
Please help!!!
