I honestly give my cats a little bit of yogurt pretty much anytime I give myself yogurt. Plain Greek style yogurt.

We have basically stopped working on how to solve the liver problem and have just been trying to manage her appetite, since we had no luck with guess work with treatments, or with imagine and fine needle biopsy. We have been giving her denamarin and mirtazapine, and we have been lucky enough...

You might want to try the oral mirtazapine instead of the mirataz ointment.... my cat really hates the ointment and seems really lethargic and hides for a few hours after I put it on her ear. She can smell it as soon as i open the ointment and runs and hides and puts her ears back. Of course...

Our liver journey started in mid February. Our cat has dealt with constipation issues in the past, and we started to see signs of it again and it wasnt responding to the usual doses of lactulose... so when we brought her in to the vet, something more serious wasn't even really on our radar. Sh...

I'm really sorry to hear this, poor guy. My own kitty has been trudging through empirical treatment to address her liver problems... We've been through antibiotics and prednisolone without her responding, and one of the next options our vet has put on the table is atopica. In our situation, we...

How is Chaz doing with the atopica now?

Is he leaving normal pees in his usual litter box?

My vet said that the only thing to be wary of with miralax is that whatever water stays in the colon bound to the miralax, isnt absorbed into the body so you want to make sure youre adding water to the food you are putting miralax in, so your cat is drinking extra water with it.

My sibling cats have a serious size discrepancy as well.. one is 7 lbs, the other is 13 lbs. The smaller one hisses and growls sometimes at her brother, but i think it is because that's the only way for her to communicate to her brother to knock it off if he is being too rough, since she is so...

My understanding of Miralax is that it simply keeps the water it binds to, in the stool... but it doesn't draw water into the intestines that wasnt already there.

Since the constipation and hard poops has been going on for a long time, and the elevated liver enzymes is new, the vet doesnt think is related... she said it could be making it somewhat worse, simply because liver problems cause inappetance and she stopped eating as much, so there is just less...

She mostly eats wet food with water added to it. She sometimes snubs wet food in the mornings, but those are usually the mornings that she chooses to eat the fiber response kibble. She turns down pumpkin, too. I have not heard of the hairball gel but will definitely look into that.

My 13 yr old girl has always been an infrequent pooper, and her poops have always run a little on the smaller and dry side, so it's always been something we have had to keep an eye on. In the past couple of years, though, she has had a couple of bouts with constipation leading to straining and...

One of my cats poops every 2-3 days... she has pushed it to longer,,,,but she also has had to have enemas twice. She takes miralax and lactulose, too. She is an old lady and was always an infrequent pooper, but it is only in recent years that she has needed an enema.
