Our 9 yr old flame point male Siamese has not pooped on his own in 10 days. He has been in and out of the vet office since last Tuesday and we are still not seeing any progress.
Multiple enemas were done over the course of the week with very little result, in fact yesterday morning he had his last one and there has been no result at all from that.
Thursday they put him under anesthetic and try manual deobstipation with poor results. So they did xrays and reported no abnormalities. Ran a complete blood work and found a higher level of lymphocytes. Upon inspection they we’re found to be abnormal in appearance, which the vet says could be due to stress, infection or cancer. Though they didn’t see anything tumoresque on the xrays.
He is on restoralax & Lactulose, & watered down wet food. They sent home pain meds for yesterday and today and a weeks worth of amoxicillin.
Small amount a waste was produce on Friday night, but now. Nothing again since then.
He seems a little more himself today, willingly walks around but is moving pretty slowly.
If there is no production by morning we are going to have to contact the vet again, but honestly they seem at a bit of a loss too and it’s starting to get out of hand expensive now.
We need some suggestions for getting things moving. Please.
