Can too much lysine cause constipation for some cats? I've got one cat who periodically gets stuffed up. Poor thing sometimes screams when her poo hurts her. I've also see her walk into the box and walk back out without results. I feed her wet food twice daily (when I travel, it's one serving and more kibbles) along with kibbles for snacking. I also add water to the wet food. I add in pumpkin or sweet potato for fiber. I'm doing all the things that are usually listed as helpful to help with constipation.
She hasn't pooped in 2 1/2 days. I've increased lysine intake the last 2 days because the other cat has been sneezing. And it makes me wonder if the increased lysine is causing mild constipation?
The other thing that may be an issue is high protein, low/no grain food. I think she has more problems with this type of food.
