We have a slightly hyperthyroid cat, he gets 0.25mg methimazole twice/day. When we have a cat sitter come we have her give both doses at once every 24 hours (vet said that’s fine to do as needed, just probably less effective than spacing it out). Our cat sitter canceled on us at the very last...

My cat (13) has lost a bit of weight with increased appetite so the vet started him on 1.25mg methimazole once per day. She originally wanted to do twice a day but I kind of talked her into once/day since his thyroid level was “normal” but on the high end (4.5). He is approaching 3 weeks on the...

My 13 year old kitty has been struggling with constipation issues for a few years now. We are back on Miralax after an uncomfortable night where he used the litter box and when he came out, he had some mild rectal prolapse... I'm self-diagnosing here, but I could definitely see a big pink bulge...

I have a 12 year-old cat who has a bigger frame - definitely not a main coon but he's a bigger guy. He has always been in the 12-13 pound range. At his annual checkups, the vet generally says something like "he's a little overweight but given his size I'm not that worried." His last official...

I haven’t seen anything online about this it’s very odd to me, wondering if anyone has heard anything. We use Arm and Hammer Cloud Control Platinum and ordered a couple new boxes to restock In preparation for a litter dump and cleaning out the boxes. As you can see in the picture, the rest of...

My cat suffers from constipation issues so we have him on Miralax per the vet. We give him 1/8 to 1/4 tsp every other day which has been working well to keep him regular. So now, we monitor him for scooting. Doesn’t happen all of the time. Sometimes it’ll be a 2 months sometimes like 6...

We adopted a kitten at 6 months and our 11 year old cat is clearly a little irritated by him, but we've had the new cat for about 5 months now and I feel like very slowly they're getting more along. Both are neutered males. Basically the older cat is just irritated by the kitten's energy level...

We adopted a kitten at 5 months, he's almost 1 year now. He had some "dirty bum" issues nearly the entire time we've had him, where he had very soft stools - not diarrheic as they are almost always formed, just extremely soft. The problem is that there would almost always be some liquid fecal...

My 11 y/o boy has struggled with constipation issues, which may or may not be related to the thread here: scooting. I have taken him to the vet about 6 times over the last 2 years to have his anal glands expressed. The second time I brought him in, they said it was really built-up bad, and if I...

Our kitten (who is now 10 months old) has had really soft stool ever since we adopted him at around 5.5 months. He had a negative fecal sample at the vet who said he was healthy otherwise. The main issue is that his soft poop (not diarrhea) sticks to his bum. He doesn't seem eager to clean it...

We adopted a kitten who had very soft stools. He seems totally fine other than his poop is often much smellier than other cats and almost every time he poops, there is mostly liquid (sometimes soft solid) fecal residue on his anus that then transfers to whatever surface he sits on next. It has...

First post here but I have long enjoyed reading the threads in this community! We adopted a kitten at around 5-6 months old and unfortunately the rescue didn't give us a heads up that the poor guy has some bowel issues (not that I blame them, they have their hands full). Essentially his stools...
