    Cat on lactulose and cisapride, still not pooping

    Hey all, (Not sure if reviving this old thread is against any etiquette rules -- let me know if I should start a new one!) So my cat has been doing really well on the miralax (1/8 tsp per day) for the past couple months (thanks again for the suggestions) and we started adding a little bit of...

    Cat on lactulose and cisapride, still not pooping

    Thanks everyone for your informative comments! Sorry for the late reply on my part, unfortunately I ended up with a lot of holiday and family stuff to take care of. I'll give you guys an update first and then respond to things! So kitty has been pooping pretty regularly ever since his weekend...

    Cat on lactulose and cisapride, still not pooping

    I don't think he does, just because he seems to still go up and down the stairs easily. Are there other symptoms I should watch out for? The good news is, he pooped late last night, so I ended up not taking him to the vet since that stresses both of us out, haha. I guess I'll continue to...

    Cat on lactulose and cisapride, still not pooping

    Hi guys,  I was hoping someone could give me some advice on how to help my cat Bandit. He's 11 years old (almost 12, really), 10-11 pounds, and neutered, with a history of urinary tract infection, so he's on dry C/D and W/D and has been doing well with no UTIs or other problems for the past ten...

    Problems with new kitty

    He has been eating and drinking, he's 11-12 wks. old, and I'm pretty sure he didn't go anywhere else (not 100% though). Thanks for the advice. I'll wait a bit and then check on him again.

    Problems with new kitty

    Yay, we got our new kitty today! ...But, he's been in my house for about four hours and he hasn't yet used the litter box. I put him in the laundry room, which is pretty big, and his food and water are all the way across the room from the box. I'm a little worried about this because he's been...

    Kitten food

    Okay, so, canned foods in the mornings and evenings, dry food out 24/7. Would this mean that I'm feeding the kitten 3 times a day?

    Kitten food

    I've bought a brand called Special Kitty which seems to be suitable for both adult cats and little kitties. Some other questions: how many times per day should I feed him? Should I feed the canned food at a different time than the moistened dry food?

    Kitten food

    I haven't actually gotten a kitten yet, but in a week I'm going to have one (he will be about 11 wks. old) and I was wondering if I should feed him dry food or wet food. Or both. I would appreciate any advice on this.
