We actually had a vet appointment a month ago to check for a UTI but had to cancel because something came up. She's not exhibiting any signs of a UTI. Pees normal amounts, no blood in urine, no crying. Eating normally, behaving totally normally.

This started several months ago. We don't know how old she is, but we've had her since 2008 and at that point, she already had kittens (we found her living under our house with one surviving kitten and kept both). She's always had random pee/poop issues where we'd find that she sometimes peed...

For your assistance over the last several months. As some of you may recall, I joined a few months ago because our Cody was having repeated bouts of constipation, complicated by hip arthritis, as well as change in personality and increased pacing/meowing lately. Pacing and meowing, especially...

You know, that's a thought... I'm pretty sure she's still reacting to noises relating to food, but I'm going to pay attention tonight to confirm. She may just be chasing her siblings when they run to the sound.

I'm not sure re: physical check, but she did go in for a "full physical/exam" that day.

I just looked back at the testing paperwork. They ran a T4 test (actually a Total T4, so TT4). The result came back as 2.3, with normal range being 0.8 to 4.7. So she was right in the middle for thyroid issues.

Hi, yes, she's been to the vet twice since March. Blood tests and urinalysis coming back totally fine. They couldn't figure out the constipation issue and we started doing home enemas but that has resolved in the last few weeks (I'm running a poop log now, so I know we're on the right track).

Hi! You may remember me from such threads as: Recurring constipation despite multiple vet visits - Any ideas? and Arthritis treatment As some of you may recall, we've been battling constipation related issues for several months. That seems to have worked itself out, knock on wood. She...

This is a bit of a follow-up to my thread re: constipation (Recurring constipation despite multiple vet visits - Any ideas?). As an update on that issue, we've now had several days of regular poops, so knock on wood. However, despite the fact that she's pooping regularly, she still cries in...

So, an update, chronologically: Tuesday, April 26 - We administer an enema (per the post above) - multiple bowel movements Wednesday, April 27 - Another small, runny bowel movement ... Then nothing...And more nothing...We start getting worried. She's on the following during this time period...

There was no specific instruction by the vet. There was one in March and one in April. During the April visit, the vet told us what enemas to use but did not actually specifically explain when to use them. The vet actually reached out to us for a check-up and we told her we will be doing an...

I can't find an edit button, so I just want to also say thank you for your help to everyone who posted. We're going to take all the advice to heart.

I wanted to provide an update. The enema arrived this afternoon and we just gave it to her about 15 min ago. She immediately had a large bowel movement. Here's the strange part: It was soft. The previous visits to the vet noted the presence of large amounts of hard stool after the enema...

She eats mostly wet, with several morsels of dry (because she loves dry food as well) as snacks during the day. Since this started, she's been getting much less dry (just a few pieces).

Funny you ask this. My partner is in charge of the Miralax. A few hours ago, while reading various posts on here, I decided to ask if she was dissolving it. Nope, she was just stirring it into the food! So the cat just got the first properly prepared Miralax dose an hour or so ago.

No specific diagnosis, bloodwork and urinalysis came back completely fine. Just constipation, relieved by enema. She's currently on lactulose, Miralax, olive oil and pumpkin and is drinking plenty of water.

I forgot to mention, as far as the enema I ordered, it's the PRN Pet Enema (12ml). They also had a PRN Feline Enema but the ingredients are exactly the same, it's just a smaller size (6mL), so I went for the larger version.

We've never giving her an enema before but she's a very loving cat so it should be fine (hopefully). I asked about Cisapride during last week's visit, but the vet said there's no need for it at this time.

New member, looking for some help. The X-rays described below are here https://imgur.com/a/pMYHRo9 In February, we started noticing that one of our cats (a 12 year old female in a multi-cat household) would walk around the house meowing. In early March, we noticed that this behavior was now...
