Thanks!    The article gave me some good ideas and the last bullet point is exactly the information I was looking for.  Now I just have to see if I can find canned fish without salt and other yucky stuff.

I'm sorry you got some tough news from the vet.  I'm surprised he's constipated again.  Makes me wonder if they even did a proper clean out the first time.  Did they tell you what he had done? Did they show you his actual x-rays from both times he had this done?  If you can afford it, I would...

I know it's frustrating, but try to hang in there . I think it's a good sign that he is walking around and acting normal.  The hard chunks of poo could be left over from the clean out.  The colon has a curve to it and sometimes they can't get around it.  So they clean out what they can...

Thanks for the good thoughts! And thank you for that info about the worms.  I did a search and found conflicting information as to whether there is just one tape worm or a bunch of them.  I saw one of the egg sacs around his butt which was long and moving around so I thought it was a baby or...

I'm so sorry.  I've been through this and it sucks.  Every cat reacts differently to having this done and you never know what's normal and what you should worry about.  When you can, I would try to find out if he had an enema or not.  When my cat had mine, he leaked black fluid/diarrhea for...

I'm glad you were able to get some fluids and food into him.  I'm also super happy the X-ray didn't show mega colon.  The first time Noah had his clean out procedure they put him on Science Diet W/D as well.  However, he continued to have constipation issues and eventually needed a second clean...

Hey everyone, I hope this is in the right forum.  So I have a cat with mega colon who needs to get more fluids.  It turns out he loves these broth packets by Fancy Feast.  I use it as a treat/snack.  Unfortunately, a 1.4 oz. packet costs $1.00 or more.  The ingredients for one of the flavors...

No worries  .  It was kind of a weird question and the wonderful people in the MegaColon Yahoo group have been helping me out.  I brought him to the vet and he had another clean out.  Now I'm on poop watch, lol.  Hopefully, there will be a bunch of dead worms in it.  Thanks for the tips .

I'm so sorry you have to go through this.  That seems like a really high amount of lactulose your vet prescribed.  My cat is heavier than yours and they only recommended 1.5 ml twice per day after he had the same procedure.  He was on that amount for awhile until I switched to Miralax.  I think...

Hi everyone, I'm having issues with my cat Noah.  A few days ago I noticed he was having liquid poop stuck around his butt.  So I cleaned it and didn't think much of it.  The next day he had the same issue twice.  The first time I cleaned him, I found little rice like objects.  The second time...

Penny is adorable!  I'm so sorry she's not feeling well. Has Penny been vaccinated?  Did the vet say what they think is causing her mouth sores?  I've never had to do this personally, but I think people will probably recommend you start syringe feeding her.  This will prevent her from...

Thanks Red Top Rescue! It helps so much to have advice from someone who experienced this.  Piglet is such a cute name.  I nicknamed my kitty "tubby butt" for the same reason lol. 

Aw, that's such a cute name!  I would love to foster kittens but I know I wouldn't be able to give any of them back lol.  That's too bad about not being able to have the blood tests.  It makes finding a diagnosis so much harder. The other things I was thinking was maybe it's a kidney issue...

Hi there, I'm sorry your little guy isn't feeling well and I'm so sorry the other one didn't make it.  Does this little guy have a name yet?  You're awesome, by the way, for being a foster parent . The first thing that comes to my mind after reading your post is hypoglycemia.  Check out this...

Thanks again Red Top Rescue, I went ahead and did it.  I pulled out a hard poo!  My vet also called me back in the meantime and he said I could try it as well so I figured I may as well go for it.  After I pulled out the poo, I inserted a little mineral oil with the enema bottle to help keep...
