Is anyone familiar with Megacolon? My cat, JoJo, who has kidney disease, was diagnosed on Tuesday with Megacolon. She was at the vet overnight to clean out her system. I picked her up on Wednesday and she hasn't pooped since. She eats tuna or chicken, watered down. She drinks a lot. She no longer eats her K/D. She's peed on my bed on several occasions at night. I give her pills but it's getting harder and harder. She has 3 legs and no tail but she's a tough 4 3/4 lb girl. She's bitten me several times. She won't take the pills in pill pockets or wrapped in cheese or tuna or chicken. I've tried giving her the subq fluids but it's impossible.
I guess another question I'm asking is if anyone ever put their cat to sleep due to Megacolon. I've been thinking of making the call. I couldn't get her cisapride in her just now so I've decided to stop giving it to her and calling the vet tomorrow.
It's just so upsetting because all she has to do is poop. It's so simple. But she can't.
She's a wonderful kitty but I think it may be time.
Anyone experience Megacolon? Any thoughts?
Thanks.
