[@rachelb8863]

My cat had severe constipation and I used a tiny bit of cod liver oil using a squirty thing into his mouth. It was probably about half a teaspoon at most. Be extremely careful not to overdose. And he pooed within 7 hours. Edit. Nb. The castor oil fed into the mouth. Sadly of course vets are not trained to be aware of natural remedies and do not recommend simple home treatments. Their training as funded by the pharmaceutical industry

She said DON'T give your cat canned pumpkin. This is what I hate. A vet in one video says one thing. Another vet in another video says the exact opposite thing. Frustrating! Can't you people all get on the same page?!😒

[@DS-lk3tx]

Cats are Carnivors. Pumpkin may help but it's not good for them.

[@luloops]

@@DS-lk3tx It is NOT bad for them. If that is all you gave them, yes but not as an addition to their carnivore diet especially as an aid for constipation.

[@MsEventer1234]

I just saw this video and wished I had seen it four days earlier. My cat became very sick and the vet said there was an linear obstruction in the colon and recommended to put him down because there was nothing they could do but surgery. And they were only open two more hours on a Saturday! I was devastated and agreed to it, but wanted to find out what the object was in his colon. Turns out he had. Obstication , exactly like what she is talking about . After the necropsy , the vet called me back and told me there was nothing but poop inside his colon and I did the best thing because since he was FIV positive he wouldn’t have recovered from the surgery well! I’m still very upset about having to put to put him down!

So very sorry for the loss of your kitty, you did the best possible under the circumstances.

[@VadimPiper]

dont trust 95% vet (or med workers)

[@cathyz8226]

I'm so sorry for your loss, but let me share that my baby cat had fip years ago. He went through hell before we figured out what it was. I suspect your cat wasn't feeling bad from that at the time, but it would have become very traumatic to watch your baby go through. I truly know this loss from a few months ago, but he ultimately very likely had a far better end of life than he would have if he had lived to the point at which the fip reared it's ugly head. Once again, I am so sorry for the loss of your kitty angel. ❤

[@clarisamoreno7932]

Thank you so so much for posting this video!!!! Once I watched it, I immediately realized my kitty was definitely constipated. We were able to get into the vet ASAP and she needed an enema! Because it was caught quickly and your video, she’ll be completely fine ❤️❤️

[@barbaradelorme9397]

My cat is overweight from constipation. I took him to the vet a week ago. He was sedated and given an enema the vet said he got out as much as he could. He told me to give him miralax twice a day. He said that if you didn't poop in a week to bring him back tomorrow makes one week... I'm in tears. I can't afford to take him to the vet over and over for the same problem 😭😞😭

[@Nobody12409]

My cat started having problems with constipation right around the time this video was released. It was amazingly helpful and I've been referring back to it during treatment to help understand her treatment. Thank you so much.

Wow for you to know all of this info without a paper to read of off just shows what an awesome Vet Dr. you are 😮😊

[@markharrisllb]

The cat we lost in October had cancer of the lower bowel, having decent faeces was a thing of great celebration. He could get up to 6ml of lactulose a day and he did have to three enemas in the 14 months of his diagnosis. Because we went to the vet with the first sign of something being wrong, monitored his bowel movements daily and kept him moving he had longer than normal after the diagnosis and had a decent quality of life for a 22 year old. Having a phenomenal vet who I can now call a friend helps a lot too. If Tiggs hadn’t been using a litter tray we would have missed it and it was Tiggs himself who decided to go out less as he aged. That’s one of the factors why my two kittens are going to be house cats. When you get any pet get insurance and factor in you will have to go to a vet at least once a year. As they get older you will have to go more often, here in the U.K. there’s the PDSA if you can’t afford. If you can afford please donate for those who can't. There’s no excuse for not visiting a vet. Please don't apologise for the terminology when you could be saving lives or at least extending it. You are Mallory present your videos exceptionally well, both of you give all the prevalent information. You should do a video about 'All About Cats' for no other reason than I’m nosey.

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Mark, I JUST recorded one on "answering your top questions about All About Cats", but I didn't like the way I approached it and will have to redo it. Your encouragement makes me feel a bit more confident that the idea was on the right track. Let me know if you have any particular questions you'd like to see answered when we do eventually come out with a video on that. - Mallory

[@lauraduffy9055]

How is your cat now?

[@tiashiraz8430]

My cat gets this a lot as he is elderly, has kidney disease and his bowel moves slowly. Because of the kidney disease, he is constantly somewhat dehydrated which makes his poop hard. I take him to the vet every 10 days to get fluids into him and occasionally use lactulose to get him moving again. Unfortunately, most of the medication to soften stools or stimulate the bowel put too much strain on his compromised kidneys and so can’t be used. Fluids, regular vet checks, wet food, my almost obsessive attention to how often he poops (!) and plenty of love are luckily keeping him going.....😁

[@ester-cs2uo]

My cat has been having this issue too. How is he getting on? She has hyperthyroidism and kidney issues 😢

[@tiashiraz8430]

@@ester-cs2uo He’s doing ok. Thanks for asking. He’s 20 years old now but still patrols his garden, comes for cuddles and has occasional attacks of the zoomies.😁 It’s just important to keep those fluids going as without them, his condition deteriorates. He’s also on a low dose of Enalapril for blood pressure and I put Ipakitine in his food to keep his potassium levels low - both of which help to protect his kidneys. We probably don’t have that many years left together, but his quality of life is really good for the moment and I’ve kept him going for 6 years with kidney disease, so there’s always hope. I hope your kitty does well, too.🙂

[@wakinguptothetruth.2566]

@@tiashiraz8430 hi, my cat has been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure, he's 18 I was told to change his food to do Royal canin or hills food, do you use a special food for your cat, is your cat on pain killers, I was prescribed pain killers for him, he's taken 2 25mg ones a day, I have ordered some ipakitine for him, how much do you give with a meal?

[@tiashiraz8430]

@@wakinguptothetruth.2566 My boy weighs 4.5 kilos and he gets 2 spoonfuls of ipakitine every day plus a quarter tablet of Enalapril to lower his blood pressure and put less strain on the kidneys. He’s been on those for about 5 or 6 years now. I split the ipakitine between 2 meals but you can put it all in one if necessary. I have always fed my cat primarily on ‘real food’ - fish from the market - oily fish which he loves and never, ever dry food. I know a lot of vets recommend special kidney food, but I tried that at the beginning and he wouldn’t even try it. Despite what I have read about the dangers of a high protein diet in cats with kidney disease, his bloods (which we do every 6 months) have held steady on his old diet and my vet says the oil in the fish is good for him at his stage in life. He’s just past his 20th birthday and he’s had kidney disease for many years now. In terms of pain killer, my cat has never been on one for kidney disease but for an unrelated issue, he is now taking Gabarpentin 0.5 ml x2 a day. It is one of the best as it doesn’t stress the kidneys like others do. I also strongly recommend getting regular subcutaneous fluids (once a week/10 days).

[@tiashiraz8430]

@@user-dh8ne2of7f No. Fluids means IV fluids under the skin. If you do it weekly, it greatly helps with constipation. I do mine at the vet, but if you have a compliant cat and are not afraid of needles, it is easily done at home. The other trick is using Lactulose which (I think) is a human laxative (again, I get mine from the vet). It’s a sugary, sticky liquid. Initial dose is 3ml then 2.5 ml every 12 hours. Can take a day or two to have effect but it really helps them poop. Once they are no longer blocked, the fluids can help to keep stool soft enough to pass. I know how anxious it can be taking care of an elderly cat, so my heart goes out to you. If your cat is severely blocked then she/he may need an enema before anything else works. If you can afford it, then get the vet involved. My boy has an amazing vet and she’s been super helpful in managing his condition.

[@lludmilla]

My cat was diagnosed with megacolon and this is what I do and it works: 1. Buy a 5 ml syringe. 2. Every morning take the plunger out and pour in half of teaspoon Miralax directly into the syringe. 3. Hold your finger on the syringe tip and pour water in until almost full. 4. Cover both holes with fingers and shake until it dissolves directly in the syringe. 5. Put the plunger back and give it to your cat on the side of the mouth so that she doesn’t choke. 6. Buy some lactuloze and give her 4 ml every evening also. Do this every day and it won’t be any problems anymore. Don’t skip days. My baby hasn’t been constipated in over 6 months with this method. Putting everything directly into the syringe makes sure they get the full teaspoon but if you put in the food it might not work. Tip: buy some pet enemas at the vet or online and always have some in case of emergency. For the enema I fill up a 60 ml syringe with a dose of pet enema and warm water and I attache a long thin urinary catheter to it that I lubricator and put half way up and gently press all the water in. Works every time.

[@leosunrising]

My vet said to buy psyllium husk. Found on Amazon, the capsules. I open and sprinkle in wet food. One capsule per day. Start small, then add little by little. My cat knew II put something in his food so he wouldn’t eat it. That’s why I stopped doing it for a few days, then restarted, little by little. It works. Vet also had first said to use Miralax, 1/8 teaspoon to start 2x a day. It works too.

[@warriormamma8098]

My vet too sd 1/8 - 1/4 tap up to twice a day until a BM. Then just that dose once a day. We were doing good but stopped bc unsure if a sudden itch that cause her to scratch above eyes in front of both ears until scabbed was from miralax. Now began again the other day and she had a medium dry BM and nothing in last 24 hrs. She goes through phases over the yrs were she doesn’t eat much and then doesn’t BM much. She is 7 lbs. we have spent thousands of dollars on speciality vet and tests, scans , meds etc to get her to eat more until I realized this yr it seems to be a BM issue. !? We have wellness plan at Banfield Pet hospital which isn’t the greatest but like I sd if they can’t figure it out we go to specialists. I have also done a suppository in her before. She was an angel. She didn’t go the 90 mins I sat in bathroom w her and all her supplies. Right after I let her out into dining room she went thankfully. So I am about to give a suppository to her and msg vet the next choice. They mentioned lactulose or fiber. (She also gets amazing daily joint supplement and probiotics plus syringe extra water and lactose free milk with no other ingredients).

So, my cat seemed constipated, I took her to the ER, they did X-rays and showed nothing blocking and nothing in her tummy. Gave her an antibiotic as her white blood cell count was high, returned home. Normal 3 weeks, now she's doing it again (straining like she needs to poo but nothing comes out). During these 3 weeks, I changed her diet slowly to grain free and she seems to like it. Appetite has been normal throughout all of this. I guess my next step is to take her back in for a sonogram?

I’ve found sticking to wet food with soft water mixed in helps, but yeah check with a vet to be sure

[@ng8899]

My cat just went through an enema bc he hasn’t been defecating normally (hard stool and not as often), he had lack of appetite and was not drinking water either. The weirdest thing was that he was a bit uncoordinated when walking (almost looked like was dizzy). Has this happened to anyone with a constipated cat? Vet said to wait and see how he reacts with this enema so I’m hoping it’ll be better for him. He said if the wobbling/un coordination continued, that he would refer me to a neurologist. Has anyone experienced something similar?

[@justdoit7303]

Cats get constipated a lot from eating carbs, which are in dry food. I struggled with my one male cat for the first few years of his life, rushing to Vets to get enema's, doing enema's on him myself. Finally it dawned on me, what makes ME go? Old Fashioned oat meal. So, I stopped giving kibble, that helped a lot, but that cooked tsp of oatmeal in wet food, got that boy no constipation for the rest of his life, which was 16 years. As his sister got older, she started getting more constipation. Same oat meal, she lived to 18. Constipation is awful! In cats and humans!

My cat hasn't eaten ANYTHING in six days! I've tried all kinds of wet, raw, dry foods, but she hasn't touched anything. The vet says she's constipated but we have to forcefeed her wet food. I've tried that but she vomited out the little I could manage to feed her. Her walk is shaky and her eyes are squinty and watery all the time. I'm losing my mind. She's only 4 years old. Don't want to lose her💔

[@BerniceMabamije]

Did you ever find a solution? My cat is currently in the same situation 😢

[@Cerberus-bx7rx]

@BerniceMabamije She was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. The vet gave her antibiotics every day for a week and she recovered completely. Then, after a month and a half (in early September) she got sick again; her appetite dropped. We immediately rushed her to the vet. She was prescribed antibiotics again for a week, but her condition only worsened. They gave her an enema, which further reduced her appetite and she stopped eating. On the tenth day, the vet suggested we let her go, but we didn’t give up on her until she took her last breath on September 13. I felt like I lost my child. Thinking about her still breaks my heart. I pray you don’t have to go thru the same, and I hope your cat survives InshaAllah. The only advice I can give you is that if your cat’s condition is weak and she hasn’t eaten in three days, don’t let the vet perform an enema on her. It will only drain her remaining energy and double her suffering. Also, ask your vet to initiate 'esophageal tract feeding' immediately. This only requires minor surgery and will allow you to feed your cat a liquid diet through a syringe without her needing to chew, as she may have developed ulcers and sores in her mouth due to lack of nutrition. Please search 'esophageal tube feeding for pets' on KZbin and you'll get a basic idea of how it works. Just take this very seriously, even when she recovers, because the underlying causes may attack her organs again. Plus, take really good care of yourself, you'll need every last bit of your energy to make thru this. Keep me in the loop. I'll be praying for you and your cat.

[@BerniceMabamije]

@@Cerberus-bx7rx ohh I'm so sorry for your loss and even more sorry for reminding you of her this way 😞. I'm sure she was a very lovely girl. What was her name?

@@Cerberus-bx7rx I don't even have a “vet”. Animal care is not a priority in my country and there are very few qualified vets and lot of textbook vets, unfortunately the majority of those professionals aren't even close to me. The closest one is another state away, I'm just on here looking for anything I can do at home. Although my cat has been eating and when she doesn't, I force feed her because I don't want her starving. She has also been drinking a lot of water and I've been hoping that will make her stool but no, I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm just praying at this point that she will be okay.

[@charbaka373]

my cat goes to the litter box to defecate multiple times a day. Sometimes nothing comes out. I noticed he strains, like if he was pushing and he'll wheeze. So it does look like he's trying to poop and may be constipated but then a squirt sound happens and a little liquid poop will come out. I initially thought he had diarrhea because of the liquid poop but now I'm wondering if with the straining it's actually constipation and maybe some liquid poop is able to go around the constipation block and come out....? My vet only did blood work and said his results were perfect.

[@user-ox9up8st4]

[@kikibiddy2927]

Hi doctor, i have a cat that has pretty much all of the symptoms of obstipation and my vet recommended me to get on Royal Canin Hydrolyzed protein diet, which contains soy protein. However, i read that soy is apparently bad for cats, and now idk what to do? She's on wet food as well hills science id wet food, but i am switching her to koha rabbit formula wet food here soon. Any advice for dry food?

[@gbytes27]

You should maybe listen to your vet.

[@shannanmuire]

What about hard stools followed by diarrhea when the hard stools finally come out? Is that like a cork in a champagne bottle effect? Our cat is usually ok, with soft serve ice cream-like stools, but this has happened the past couple of times she's pooped and it's been really stressful trying to clean her butt. She gets very upset and starts biting and squirming away. The hard stools cling to her fur, and the diarrhea gets everywhere. We've seen her strain only a few times, but drag her but across the floor frequently, and there seems to be a lot of mucus on her stool before we get to the diarrhea. So hard, dry stools, then mucus covered soft serve, then the diarrhea. We give her wet food because she has an aversion to water so we want to make sure she stays hydrated. We've tried a water fountain, but she was scared to death of it. We try to exercise with her daily with feather toys because she's missing a back leg, which we're sure doesn't help her when keeping her position while she's pooping. The vet emphasized exercise because she's a tripod cat and doesn't want her to have too much weight on her remaining three legs. She's about four or five years old, and before we adopted her she not only lost her back leg, but she also had a small litter of kittens. She's small, about 8 pounds, and has a VERY healthy appetite. We started off with one brand of wet cat food. Now we buy 4 different kinds. However, my husband wonders if we should just go back to the original cat food and not switch up so much. I also want to take her to the vet for testing and imaging. Should we just be giving her one kind/brand of food before having her tested at the vet? Or do both? She's insured but gets stressed when going to the vet. Sorry this was long. I'm just worried. I've tried putting a little water on her food, but she threw up once.

[@cattalllina2857]

Currently going through the same thing with my cat, were you able to help with the situation or figure out a way to help your kitty? If so please help me out, I’m running out of things to do

[@shannanmuire]

@@cattalllina2857 I ended up taking her to the vet to do some imaging. Luckily she does not have a condition called "megacolon", so I was relieved. However, they found out that she's got severe joint disease, so she could be in pain when trying to squat to poop. So the vet said to try the water fountain again and give her more time to adjust, but in the meantime give her only wet food like I have been, add a tablespoon of water to each serving, and also to continue giving her some wet treats (the wet kinds that come in a tube where you rip off the ends--like Churu or something similar), and he gave me probiotics to mix in her food every day. She's also taking glucosamine to help with her joints. She's gone from pooping once a week to 2 to 3 times a week, so it's been much better and no more messes! I do feed her three small meals a day (with a tablespoon of water in each serving), and I give her two tubes of wet snacks, one tube I open her probiotic & glucosamine capsules and mix them together. The water fountain is coming soon. That'll be a late Christmas present when I'm not so broke from shopping. Good luck! 😉❤️

[@rumpstatefiasco]

I THINK that someone in the comments here may have recommended mixing a small amount of cooked organic oatmeal into your cat’s favorite food, and others replied that it worked well, and I second that, except my aged kidney cat only consumed the oatmeal cat food blend if I first made a fairly runny slurry of the cooked oatmeal + water in a blender before adding it to slurry type pates and treats, that way the texture of the oatmeal matched that of his favorite food. In my cat’s case, it is important to keep the percentage of oat low enough that his food is still attractive.anyway, one dose and 15 hours later he passed his first poop in 2.5 days! PS: we may also add steamed carrot slurry to some of his future meals.

My cat suffers from chronic constipation, we never got a firm megacolon diagnosis, but I think he has it. He takes 2 ml lactulose and 2 ml laxatone twice a day and cicipride twice a day. He eats prescription CD for crystals and fancy feast savory center wet food. I had to go away for work last week and I think he might have spit up his pills or medication on my mom, because this morning he had a massive amount that would not come out. His anus was swollen and the poop stopped right at the opening. It was huge. I was able to get it out using lube, hot water, and lactulose on the anus area. I used my fingers to get some and then he was able to push it out. I feel so bad for him. Making an appointment for the vet this week.

Hello. My cat just poop and pee in his liter box. But after an hour he keeps on trying to poop. Now he is crying and his ears are quite cold. I keep on trying to force feeding him water with dextrose powder but he bites me. Even though I want to put suppository in his butthole I can't. What should I do?

[@AllAboutCatsYT]

Are you 100% sure that he's straining to poop, not pee? It sounds like you have a good handle on his habits, but I have to ask because urinary tract blockage or disease is sometimes confused with constipation. If you're sure that it's constipation and not severe (i.e. he is still getting out some poop), I would recommend giving him a good constipation remedy (a hairball gel is a good idea) either directly or mixed into his food. A suppository might be helpful, but you should make sure it's appropriate for cats. Cats cannot take a suppository made for an adult human, and vets will sometimes use a product made for pediatric use, but you have to get the dosage right to make sure you're not harming your cat. If you have access to a veterinarian, their assistance will give you a lot more peace of mind and a stable direction for your next steps.
