Hello, I've taken Luke to the vet three times this week for severe constipation, the last time was today Fri Dec 10.
I took him Monday & got xray (very backed up) & enema & got fluid put under his skin & lactulose & Prescription Diet W/D canned food...(no bm on Mon or Tues)..................
took him Wed & got another enema & fluid under skin(no bm on Wed or Thurs) The vet manually got alot out of him after enema (as far as she could reach). He feels better................
took him today Fri & got another enema, put fluid under skin, xray & vet can see lots of bm inside but she cant reach it. He finally thankfully had a small bm on his own this afternoon. I sure hope this is the start of normal bm's.
So far it has cost over $350 (not counting gas, car trips, my time and worry about him) & Luke had his first bm (just a small one) an hour ago probably due to the enema. He does have an appetite. I'm feeding him the canned W/D with a small amount of salmon water/juice to flavor it mixed with a small amount of Wellness canned cat food. Until the constipation I was feeding him mostly dry food but have stopped.
Has anybody else gone through something like this with their cat? I read online that Miralax was good to sprinkle on cat food. Anybody tried it? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Kay
