Sam has been home for 1 week and also has been 1 week since starting the Cisapride. It took until Saturday (3 days) for him to have a BM. He didn't have another one until Monday, but has had at least one per day since. Phew! I never thought I'd be happy to clean poop out of a litterbox!!! He...

Sam came home after 2 days at the vet. He is now on Cisapride and Lactulose. He had 3 enemas which were very beneficial and had an IV in while there. He is his "old self" again, but time will tell if the Cisapride will help. And BTW, he was all the vet techs "favorite" while there. No surprise here.

I called Sam's vet on Saturday and she told us to increase his Lactulose dosage and if he hasn't had a BM by Monday to bring him in. As of Monday AM, no BM. He's back there now and will be spending 2 days there. They started an IV to build up his fluids and then did an enema about 8 hours later...

Well, it's Saturday and Sam hasn't had a BM since he came home on Wednesday. I'm getting a little concerned. He has been on his prescription diet and getting 2 doses of Lactulose daily, but nothing's coming out! He's pretty lethargic which I would expect. If he hasn't done his duty in the next...

I called Sam's Vet on Monday to discuss his most recent episode and to emphasize that his BM's have decreased to less than 3/week, but he never returned my call. I was planning on giving him another chance to change his diagnosis, but oh well. I then called a different vet today who got Sam in...

Thanks LDG. The vet did do an x-ray. All looked ok. The frequency of Sam's BM's have vastly decreased. From 1-2 per day to 2-3 per week. Another puzzling thing is that when he finally does have one, they aren't dry and hard as one would expect from being constipated. As for the phenobarb, he...

About 9 months ago, our 9 year old male cat "Sam" would vomit and poop in various places around the house. He is an only cat, btw. At first, we would come home or get up in the morning to find vomit (mostly partially digested food) and then feces close by. My first thought was that he was...
