I feel I owe it to all the people who post on these things as a reference I used to tell my story. My cat has Megacolon (manx with no tail at all). At one point over two years ago she was nearly dead from not being able to go. The animal hospital and almost 3k later and I have learned to manage her care. We give her wet food in the morning with Miralax and again at night. She gets cisapride a few times a week and we IV hydrate her about 2 or 3 times a month. She can not control herself but goes to a dog training pad when she knows it is coming. She has semi solid waste if we do it right. It is not fun but she runs like a kitten even at 12 now. She is alive with maintenance.
