my 10 week old kitten became constipated and his rectum popped out a bit. I was able to push in back in a couple times, but as he strained to poo, it pushed further out.
I don't have the money for a vet and am looking for any shelters that might take him if I surrender him, but until then I want to keep treating him and would like to hear what has worked for others.
I am feeding yogurt and pumpkin and he's eating that pretty good. He's drinking good and peeing regular. still slightly constipated I think.
I've been soaking his bottom a couple times a day in warm water and keeping vaseline on his prolapse. its still pink and moist.
happened about 4 days ago. I tried today to push it back in and it wouldn't go and he got pretty mad.
I saw some pet owners and vets online using sugar to shrink the tissue size to help get it back in. anyone use that? and saw some people using homeopathics to help shrink the prolapse and draw it back in?
I read some really old posts on here about prolapse and some were saying it healed on its own if taken care of.
thanks for any info you can share.
