Update: I took Lily into the vet this morning as soon as they opened & they did another xray and he's just as constipated as he was 10 days ago. However, they said the stool is soft which means he has megacolon because he doesnt have the muscle tone to pass it. That's really sad news for me...

Well...he's worse today. I'm finding chunks of hard poop all around the basement, which is what he was doing before he had the procedure done. He also vomited up all the food I fed him with an eye dropper :( I'm angry with the vet because I they promised me he would be like a new cat and a...

That could be the reason- I'll ask when I call the vet tomorrow. He still isn't interested in food this morning. I tried offering him a tablespoon of chicken baby food and he won't touch it & then I offered him some dry food and he wasn't interested. It's just strange because he's not lethargic...

That's good to know- I know vets try to push science diet on people but I've never fed it to my animals before this. I'm not sure if he had an enema but he did have a manual removal. He didn't vomit at all until this morning and he had been off lactulose for 36 hours at that point, but still had...

Well, I was able to get some pedialyte into him using an eye dropper & then mixed up cream of rice with chicken baby food & warm water and fed him some of that with the eye dropper. I'm going to pick up the food for the night & now give him any until morning now to see if hopefully his appetite...

Oh he's definitely not constipated. That was the original issue...however, they anesthetized him last week, cleaned him out, and kept him over night & ensured he was unconstipated by doing an X-ray. Thats why he was started on such a high dosage of lactulose- so that he wouldn't become...

He hasn't eaten his regular food since Wednesday but today, some of his food was gone & he did drink the tuna water I gave him. I also fed him cream of rice & tuna water with an eye dropper just so he would have calories. He hasn't been vomiting any food but he did vomit foamy bile this morning

Thanks everyone for the tips! I have heard that Lactulose is pretty harsh & I'm going to be switching him to Miralax after this bottle is gone. Partially because he seems to not do well with it and partially because it's horribly messy and sticky. I made some cream of rice (no salt added) and...

I have a cat who was 30 lbs and over 2 years has dropped down to 22. He only eats canned food unless we're out of town and we put our other cats food on top of a bookshelf that he can't get up to. We also put his food down in the basement and his bed is upstairs so he has to walk up and down the...

Hi Everyone- I'm new on here but I desperately need advice regarding my cat who has been on lactulose for the last week or so. He went into the vet a week ago because he was extremely constipated (vomiting, wouldn't eat, couldn't poop, etc). They cleaned him out & he was like a different...
