Buddy is 12 years old with diabetes and has recently not been well regulated.
He has had bad constipation over the past three weeks, which has had us at to the vet three times. Once, he went on his own at the vet's office, once he had an enema and today he was given subq fluids and sent home to see if that will help. Vet determined no blockage and bowel is soft.
He's on lactulose, cisapride and miralax. He's hydrated. Eating well. Using the box normally to pee.
But he's not gone to the box to try even to poop.
We purchased both infant glycerin suppositories and cat enema (for warm water only) - not sure if it's okay to try either at home. Has anyone done either at home on an older cat?
