Thanks so much for sharing. I'm totally confused by this kitty, and especially by the info I find. She's doing really well, actually, the vet is guessing that she was probably born with it, as she is very young. Her bloowork is good, and she even survived panleukopenia about a month ago (that's...

Hi guys! I have a silly, paranoid question. I'm taking care of a cat that is positive to feline leukemia. She had some stomach issues and I started giving her some cbd oil (did wonders for her), which I "borrowed" from my own cat. Anyway, while giving the sick kitty the oil, I touched her gums...

Hi guys! I have a kitty with a number of issues :) She had a perineal hernia fixed a few months ago, and her bowels aren't looking great - they are too wide and it's very hard for her to pass stool, so we're probably looking at megacolon. Anyways, she's been getting lactulose for quite a while...

Hi all! I have a possibly stupid question :) I know that dried egg yolk powder is supposed to be great for hairball issues and I'm wondering if adding some cooked egg yolk to my kitty's diet will have the same effect? In other words, does the powder need to be dried? I can't order the dried egg...

Oh, no, I definitely know that, I didn't mean to say you did it on purpose it just sounds so familiar, one thing after the other... Anyway, thank you so much for sharing the tread, I truly appreciate it

Thank you so much. I'm still quite rattled over everything that's been going on, so I'm unable to read about Artie without tearing up, but I will definitely go through the tread. :heartshape:

Hello all! My kitty was just diagnosed with a perineal hernia and issues similar to megacolon - they are not sure which came first, but her colon definitely fills up with too much stool that she isn't able to pass, so it's not clear whether this happens because of the hernia, or if megacolon...

Also, could you tell me how much cooked food does she needs per day? I will most probably use turkey to start. She has about 9 pounds (4,5 kg, I'm not sure about converting the amount)

Hmmm, taht was the amount I tried, but no luck. She felt great while eating N&D food with quinoa (and also psyllium), so I'm now looking into recipes with those ingredients and also with meat that is not chicken. She definitely needs a little fiber in her diet and I think this is a good...

@mrsgreenjeens Oh, this has been a struggle, so I'm trying to remember what was it exactly that I tried. First of all, she truly hates pumpkin and hiding it in the food was a pain. But I did manage for a while, and I tried multiple amounts, but I never quite managed to get the right amount -...

Hello lovely cat lovers! I posted in this forum many times and you have always been more than helpful :) I have a very special kitty, with s very special set of problems and I have exhausted all the commercial options I have. First of all, I'm in Serbia (central Europe) and I have a limited...

I know, I just meant to say that vets here aren't comfortable recommending something that can't be bought locally :) I will keep at it, hopefully there will be results soon. Thank you very much!

My baby had numerous issues with anal glands. I agree with mrsgreenjeens, don't think about the worst option. We had her glands removed in the end and I can tell you - the inflammation can get REALLY bad, it doesn't necessarily need to be cancer. It's good that the vet has caught it. I hope...

Unfortunately, Miralax is not standard laxative here, so I'm not sure how much the vet will be of use - especially since she is currently on sick leave. :) I decided to order it after hearing it does wonders for kitties with megacolon. The vets can't really prescribe it, as it can't be bought...

Hi! I already posted about my kitty and her many bowel issues :) Long story short, she has lazy bowels and the muscles around her anus are a bit weak, so poop often gets stuck there and produces all kinds of painful problems. She was on lactulose for a few months, but Miralax finally arrived...

I'm beginning to realize that her issue is quite special and that all the things I've been trying are actually working - her digestion is just fine, but the very end of the "road" is giving her trouble, probably due to a "mechanical" reason, like weak muscles or damaged nerves. Thank you for the...

By the way, @Timmer how much psyllium do you give your kitty? I'm looking to make her stool very soft, but not runny, so I'm wondering if you have any specific dosage system?

@jwhite I didn't know that little detail about cisapride :) Weird, as it can be found normally in a number of my neighboring countries. I'll never understand the mysterious ways in which the pharmaceutical world works :D As for Miralax, it is quite expensive for me to buy - and Amazon doesn't...

Yes, I've tried both (lactulose instead of Miralax) and it did help a bit. She is eating Farmina Pet Foods - Cat food - Farmina Vet Life feline - Hairball feline, as it has a lot of fiber, but doesn't make her stools too bulky and hard (like other Gastrointestinal foods) and has dehydrated...

Hello! I have a kitty with stomach issues (constipation, lazy bowels, a slight widening of the colon at the very end) and I'm on a quest to find a way for her to live a normal life, without constant vet visits etc. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with a drug that could replace cisapride...
