At the End of My Rope

[phesina]

Prayers and healing energies for him and you too.

I hope he'll continue to improve. I know how frustrating this can be. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Here's the latest on my boy. Wednesday of this week I decide to put him on a diet of white rice and boiled brest of chix. Nothing else. Well he hasn't had diarrhea since late Wednesday night. In fact he has had any type of bowel movement since late Wednesday night. He is not fond of the rice and usuallty leaves it in his bowl, so he has been eating boiled breast of chix for almost 3 days. Now, should I be concerned about no bowel movement?

Try adding some canned pumpkin in, and see if "poop happens!"

[mrspunkysmom]

I'm not sure what the frequency should be, but I would think he would have gone by now. He's not going elsewhere and hiding it? It could be his body is adjusting with the change in diet.

Praying he feels better soon.

Nothing has happened yet. I'm so paranoid about this I'm checking for piles where it is impossible for him to get to. If nothing happens by tomorrow I'll check with the vet.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I know first hand how frustrating it is. And each cat will be different. For our Jasper, the answer was finding the food that kept the diarrhea in check along with a daily dose of prednisone.

Have you tried putting a litter box or two in the room where he seems to be leaving the piles, to see if he'll go in THEM instead? Maybe right on one or more of the spots where he has done it?
