Hello.
My four-year-old cat has been diagnozed with megacolon, a condition where his colon does not move feces along. Instead, they pile up until I have to take him in to be treated.
The vet -- actually, a couple of vets -- recommend surgery where part of the colon is removed. Has anyone's cat had this surgery? What was the outcome? Any negative side effects?
It is major surgery, and I am concerned about this.
Thank you for any ideas or information you have.
