I have an adult cat and he was also suffering from megacolon for 2 weeks. Was not eating anymore so we put him on a subcu fluids to hydrate him. 2 enemas did not help him. However I researched articles and videos and stumbled upon a comment saying that we can try giving him Miralax powder(for humans). I was skeptical at first but it worked. It took 2 weeks before getting my cat to poop a lot. Hope this help!😺

Great video. Our farm kitty was hit by a car. Now her tail drags. She is inside for healing. We add olive oil and water to her canned wet food. Going to add broth. Take her for walks to move her colon. She eats grass and that helps move her stool. She is still going strong. Soon to be released back outside on the farm. She now has a healthy fear of vehicles so she stays away from the road. She will be released outside soon to mouse again, eating live rodent meals from the woods.

My kitten is 10 months old. She hasn't been eating well in the last week so I took her to the vet and they said she had quite a bit of poop backed up. But she's not eating now cause she's so constipated so I'm not sure what to do.

Thank you so much Dr. My cat was trying to vomit but couldn't it was look like something stuck in her throat. I took her to see the vet and he examined her throat felt her stomach ,he described medications metacam 3mls for pain and inflammatory and carafate 5mls half an hour before meals bd Pumpkin soup that's for cats or human?

I have a rescue baby kitten and she suffers a constant constipation no matter what she eats. Vets in my country are not so good and there are only a few of them around here so taking her to the vet didn't help as much as I hoped it would. Adding broth to the food sounds like a pretty good idea and I am surely gonna try it. Thanks for the advice, doctor.❤️

Thank you doctor for the educative videos, for the advise. I have a very old cat. He is Prince, 16 years old and I have him since he was born. I love him more than people can understand. He has pets wellness plan, at to date with vaccines, labs all good..except of heart murmurs. Vet said it happens to all elderly cats, normal. To watch for worsening symptoms..so all.good until severe constipation..Just realized that he wasn't going for probably couple of days..just urinating. Up until last night, he went to use the box and yelled an bloody murder!! sounded so painful, so unbearable. Notice a tiny peace of dark poop out the box, like he pushed it so hard and flown away. pick up..it was lethal, pointy kinda sharp and hard as a rock. I just gasp..I know it is not a good news. I will do all the home remedies to aid him while I get him to see a vet for evaluation. I hope that it is not a tumor..his twin sister died of lymphoma and one of her symptoms was rock hard poop.. Any how, I appreciated for your advise. I had subscribed. I also have special needs dogs.. I may need your advise on them too. Although they have vets, and referred-seeing multiple specialists allover utah..still no one knows one of healthy dog is losing mobility in his two back legs. multiple.x-rays, sedation and manipulation..CT Scam..multiple neurologist, orthopedic surgeon..NADA..I'm broke and just medicating him with gapentin 300mg twice daily and rimadyl 100mg also twice daily.. no availed.

what can a give my cat that has constipation because of crohn's disease and one functioning kidney? My vet has given me a laxative and told me that he should receive this dayley as of then but i do not want to give him chemicals every day. He has been pooping outside of the litterbox because of pain. i had stopt giving him the laxatives but i see that he still needs help in this department what could i give him to help him out and stop his suffering ?

Few things that worked amazingly well after MANY months of failure: : 1. Going to edit my #1 from probiotics to a good high fibre cat food that is also urinary health balanced. I got a vet food for digestive health and now even without probiotics my cat is 100% constipation free ( he had chronic constipation before). I found out that even though we may be giving the cat wet food etc if its not high fibre then it won't make a difference. May be a bit pricier but 100% worth it in the long term. I use: Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food ---Please, please, please also ensure your cat food is balanced for urinary health since cats are so prone to getting urinary crystals 2. Exercise, if your cat is lazy and doesn't play much buy one of those fishing line style toys with a feather at the end of a fishing wire and really entice them to play for a good 30 mins a day. Makes a world of difference. Also making sure your cat is drinking water is pretty important.

I just went to the vet the other day to get my 1 yr old cat dewormed because she vomited and i saw 1 small worm so i bring her to the vet the next day. After getting dewormed my cat hasn't poop for a day now... Is it normal? The vet told me that the cat will poop the worms out but she hasn't pooped yet. But she vomited 1 time this afternoon but there aren't any worms there too. I hope you can help me I'm worried something is wrong 😟

In July of 2020, my cat who is 11 years old and has 3 legs had issue in passing his motions. His weight is 8 kgs. He passed some of his motions in the toilet but then came in the room and was passing motions again while he was lying down during which he was panting for breathe with his mouth open, drooling saliva, breathing 60 times in a minute. It took him 20 minutes to come back to normal whereby he was breathing 30 times in a minute. Since then, this has occurred once in 4 months. Since then, I'm feeding him less dry food and more wet food. Besides this condition, he is passing his urine and motions on a regular basis without any difficulty. Is this a serious issue? What's the solution ? 🙏❤️Sir, I will be very thankful to you forever.

Can anal glands become infected if a cat is constipated. If anal glands are impacted in is painful for cat to poo.

Doctor , I give my cat lactulose twice a week and stopped giving him dry food plus brushing him more often And yet he keeps having these sever attacks of constipation which are only resolved by enemas I just don't know what to do anymore 😣 he actually wasn't constipating as much before I did all this which is really confusing and frustrating

Have a baby kitten. Rescued. Hes small, too young to be without mom cat. He has a prolapsing anus. He is about I'd say six weeks old or less, his eyes are open. He has diarrhea and sits in the pooping position constantly. His poop was mixed with a little blood, the hard stool came out and then the diarrhea behind it, but he's still sitting in this position. Is there anything I can do to help this kitten?

I have an older cat that is still eating and drinking water but hasn't defecated in 6 days. She sleeps fine like she always does. We can't afford to go to the vet.

CATS dont like to drink water. They normally get there liquid in the food they catch in the wild but since not in the wild give some milk they love to drink milk n will make them go

It makes no sense to me that the majority of cat foods, even in vet clinics are pate and not made in gravy or something more hydrating for the older cats.

I noticed my cat became severely constipated after I have her the dewormingg medicine. Anybody else noticed that? What I realised is western medicine can come with side effects and we should only use it when absolutely necessary and not otherwise. For example my cat did not have wormss in her poop so that medicine was unnecessary and I should not have accepted giving it to her. She did not have constipation before the medicine. Now she s bloated, her belly is so big and cannot poop. I 'll try oatmeal pumpkin and fish and see what happens. I m not saying not use medicine, but only when absolutely necessary as it can come with a lot of side effects.

Rice constipates. It is in the BRAT diet for humans to stop diarrhea.

Can coconut oil help. My cat is constipated. I lacking of cash so I can't afford the vet.

My cat had an enema done on her as per doctors advise. I trust the doctor a lot so I let him do that. After administering enema he put his finger inside and started helping my cat to defecate. Is that the proper way?. It's just a mild constipation nothing serious. My cat started vomiting and there was blood in her liquidy poo when she got home. I feel so sorry for my cat. And I didn't know how it's supposed to be done but my cat was lifted up in the air with arched back while it was done to her ☹️. They didn't even cleaned her up after. They just put her back in the her cage. I'm never going back there ever.

I cannot afford the vet. He’s having problems pooping and it’s inflamed his anus. Today I gave him tapeworm, roundworm and parasite medicine to cove any parasites. He drinks an enormous amount of water. He is obsessed with drinking water. He also pees giant softball sized clumps in the litter box. Is it unordinary to drink that much water and pee softballs? Is that a symptom of something? Thanks

my cat seems to have choronic constipation. she gets constipated if I don't give her medicine and for this reason she has to take medicine on a daily basis. even the vet said that there's no treatment for permanent constipation. she will keep getting constipated till she's alive and the only way to avoid it is by medicine on daily basis. is that true? 🥲

My cat is struggling with fleas right now that I just realized. I haven’t been bitten at all so I just thought she was itchy but I guess animals shouldn’t just be itchy for not reason. She hasn’t gone poop in about 5 days and she’s eating a lot less and laying under the bed. I’m going to take her to the vet but all of the vets seem to have long waiting lists right now in the quarantine. Should I give her medicine to remove worms just in case ? I want to check all of the other things but I think it’s highly probable that she has a tapeworm. Will giving her medicine for the worm hurt her if she is anemic or something ?

I’m sooo upset! I don’t know if I should go back and take her to get the services I paid for or if I can’t trust these people and should seek a refund instead ? Its so depressing when vets don’t care about the animals, they only try to squeeze money out of people
