Hi everyone.
I'm a newbie to the site--but not to the threads, articles, etc. My 8 month old baby boy Kobe has been suffering with constipation well over a week now. Now, I have read a lot of advice on here--and followed some. A lot of the constipated kitty threads I have read..the kitty won't eat. Well--Kobe is eating fine. On Wednesday of this week, we took him to our Vet and he had an anemia, sub fluids for severe constipation which the vet had me feel in his belly. I'm aware that after an anemia he may not be able to go for couple of days due to being cleaned out. Well...its Sunday--4 days after. He did eliminate a little hard one yesterday for which I wanted to do a cart-wheel! He definitely is not himself (used to be VERY playful)--seems a little depressed. Heres what we have tried: Now on wet food 2xday--1 teaspoon of pumpkin 1xday--hes eating a little dry kitty chow and all of his treats. I paid $12.00 for Metamucil capsules which when mixed with his food he won't have anything to do with. Is Mirolax different than Metamucil? Because I will for sure try it. We've been told that he may have a digestive problem so have been advised to get Royal Canin Fiber Responsive food. I'm soooo worried about Kobe that its starting to take a toll on me. Also, he's drinking normally. Please guys--if there is something that you can suggest that I haven't already tried---I'm all ears! Thank you for your time.
