I have been to every vet in my city, no one can pin point exactly what is wrong.
My 15 year old cat, Stewie, has been in pain for around 8 months. It isn't something all the time, but he starts yowling and screaming, squatting to poop (with nothing coming out) and I've noticed his anus protrudes like he is straining and pushing.
I'd like to first state that he is not constipated. He poops easily and frequently. Every vet I've been to has ruled out megacolon, colitis, arthritis, cancer, and constipation. He has had blood work, x-rays, you name it.
Stewie has been on Wellness for about 5 months, maybe more. Before I put him on Wellness he had blood in his stools and they came out like soft serve ice cream, since he's been on it his stools have hardened and there is no more blood.
My vet said we should try a high in fiber cat food like "Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Gastrointestinal Fiber Response HF Dry Cat Food," but I have been told this is for constipation? I also read it's no where near Wellness's standards. Can anyone tell me if this may even help Stewie with his issue?
Would you suggest something else? Do you know what Stewie's problem is? Anything will help...
