Jack strains and strains to poop, but only little drabs come out.
The drab is dark with a clay-like consistency.
Here's his history:
At 5 weeks old Jack became impacted from constipation - probably from KMR - and was given an enema by the vet. Not much came out. Started Jack on Laxatone.
At 8 weeks Jack was moved to another foster home - he's a rescue - no laxatone.
At 11 weeks impacted again. Went to a new vet for another opinion - started on Albon - no relief for 3 days
Went to a 3rd vet for another opinion - vet kept Jack for enemas and to completely clean him out - did barium xrays to look for obstruction or physical deformity causing problem - found nothing
Switched to only canned food on return home. After 3 days with no poop, switched to raw food and started laxatone again
Jack is now 12 weeks old and poops little drabs everywhere he goes - drabs are not runny - and has a constantly dirty and sort butt.
Jack is very small in stature and weighs less than 2 pounds - looks like a 7 or 8 weeks old kitten.
Any thought on what might be going on with him? and how to work with it?
Thank you...
