Hey guys I am new to this forum and me to having cats. I adopted a pair that got pregnant. All kittens except the sweetest one are healthy. The sick kitten has chronic obstipation and rectal impaction any time he gets his hands on dry food or doesn't have his laxative. He has been to many vets who give him enemas, he is traumatized and bleeding, and no explanation is given.
From my research I see he could have or be developing megacolon. Its to the point where the vet just sells me a bunch of enemas and says that plus a low fiber diet is all I can do.
He developed a huge (size of two golf balls) impaction this time I had to administer 3 enemas(not fun) plus laxative and I've been following him around for the past 35min and the only thing to pass is the blue enema liquid.
Has anybody dealt with anything similar or have any advice? I don't have the heart to give the guy another enema nor do I think that would be safe. Is it possible that it might still be working on him ?
Thanks in advance for reading my long post I'm very concerned about my kitten.
