My CKD cat has had to revert to renal food, which he now eats, but his stools are always small, soft and light in colour. I give him Krill oil capsules, B Complex, Methycobalamin, and CBD for his hypertension. I've also grown wheatgrass for him which he constantly nibbles at. I'd been giving him Miralax but have now stopped as he's defacating. I think the problem may be his gut health, due to the renal (pap) diet, but of course cannot change this. He's constantly drinking and I'm not having him on SubQ, two of my dogs were on that and died shortly afterwards. I feel the stress for the animal far outweighs any short term benefits. I've also decided not to have him locked in a box on IV for a week every month. I was reading through the daily messages I had been receiving from the clinic and although they'd got him eating again, the outcome 'no poo today' every other day was the same. Could it be he needs a pro/prebiotic? I've tried to talk with my vet about this but his only answer is to admit him for IV, which doesn't solve the problem or even address his stool. In the meantime, cat is active but does look poorly and I'd like to know if something's missing from his supplementation. Any advice welcome.
