About two weeks ago, I had to take Maverick into the vet for what I thought was a UTI: the vet didn't find anything wrong w/ him, w/ the exception of an ear infection - which he treated w/ ear drops - and also gave Maverick antibiotics "just in case".
But this morning, he was in the litterbox again, acting like he couldn't go. I'm thinking he's having a problem w/ constipation: he is getting old after all (almost 13), and I think older cats have problems w/ that. He seems to be just fine otherwise: he's eating and drinking, he has no fever, and he's been running around and playing/chasing the other furbabies. So I don't think it's a UTI.
What can you give a cat for constipation?
Obviously, if I really thought that Maverick needed to go to the vet, I'd take him there.
But I don't think he needs to go. I just think he needs help w/ having constipation, but I don't know what to give him to help him..
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
