Hopefully someone can help.
8 year old feline sarted experiencing impacted bowels in January of this year.
Made visit to vet for help. He was given a ivory soap and warm water enema and changed over to high fiber diet with pumpkin added. Also recommended increase felaxin.
All went well til 2 weeks ago. Impaction reoccured. Visited vet again, but saw different vet in group. She felt high fiber not helping, said bowels were hard and dry. Changed him to canned food with runa, pumpkin and mineral oil.
Had to take cat to ver again today with same problem. Applied another enema, which each time he has been sedated also.
Same vet this time felt his colon and said very floppy with no muscle. Feels the colon is the problem and doesn't give me much hope for any change. If anything she feels it will worsen and my cat will have to be euthanized.
Please respond with any advice or info you can offer.
Thank you,
