Hello! My male cat that is about 5 has neurological issues that affect that back side of his body. He has always had some issues pooping (constipated) and peeing (gets uti's/loses control of ability to pee).
However, his constipation issues seem to be getting worse. He is on cisapride, and Hill's w/d multi benefit wet food, and Iams proactive urinary health dry food. We also give him a small amount of mirilax regularly. None of these things really seem to be helping anymore. When it gets bad, we use a feline Pet-Ema and that usually does the trick. Does anyone here regularly use enemas on their cats? There is part of me that thinks it would be easier for him if we just used one at the first sing of constipation, even if every few days...but i worry that that could make things worse?
Any advice or opinions would be very very appreciated!!
