Hi,
I would welcome any advice from owners or doctors that can help me.
4 years ago my dear cat started to have constipation issues. This resulted in him having surgery 3 times. It was told to me that a part of his colon had stopped functioning properly therefore resulting in it not being possible for him to pass Stool easily. I have tried alot of feeding options, he now only eats wet food which has Lactulose and water added to it, (as he does not like drinking either!!) This eating style has been successful for 1 year now, with no problems. He passes a stool only every 4-5 days (worrying i know).
This week once again he became constipated, only 10 days after starting him on a special food from Hills for cats with intestinal problems.
I am worried as I believe there must be a better option for him...... does anyone know of any treatment possible that may help my cat lead a healthier life. In his blood tests it arose that his Callium levels are very low.
He is now 8 years old, a lively playful, loving cat.... Turkish Van.
I would love to hear from anyone who has info about this disorder.
Thank you so much....
