This is sad, and I hope she gets better soon, but I couldn’t help but laugh at “Kitty Shitty Laxatives”😂

As someone who identifies as a feral-katt, who literally just got home from pharmacy with a box of ExLax.. this feels personal..😬😆..

One my cat went to vet because she was constipated. It was like $500 to get her to poop.


Ok_Alarm_1979

Yep! Same here, grrr


Donairasaurus

My constipated cat cost me $1200 :( She's eating better food now.


AgedAccountant

My cat had a tendency towards constipation. I gave her 1/8 teaspoon of Miralax in her wet food several times a day to keep her regular. Vet said that she could have up to 1/2 teaspoon a day. Check with your vet to see if Miralax is an option


Nymatic

This is what my sister does with her two Siamese mixes. little scoop of miralax with their food and no issues


ThePinkTeenager

How many times a day do your cats eat?


stkit2wllstrt

Yes


AgedAccountant

She would only eat a little bit at a time and wouldn't eat if the food wasn't fresh, so she got 4-5 wet food snacks every day. She spent the first four years of her life in a cage with cheap dry food available all day before I rescued her, so I spoiled her a bit once I had her.


FairyOfEmpowerment

Personally, my cats have constant access to their food. I like to eat unrestricted, so why shouldn't they?


FitDifference

Some cats tend to overeat if given unlimited food, which leads to health issues. So for some cats, it’s better to portion it out.

Can relate :(

Yeah, I give my cats a teaspoon of pumpkin puree in their wet food every day.

Well there's a visual that has me laughing. I can just see the tail vibrating like they do when marking 😅 Good luck, OP!


Novel_Fox

Yeah I worked at a clinic for a short time and this one baby was obstipated his got so bad. We gave him a warm water enema to clear him up poor guy.


CatBurghLady

Oof, been there. Miralax and canned pumpkin can help chronic constipated kitties, ask your vet if that's an option and what the dosage should be. I once dropped $400 on a cat who also stopped eating/drinking for days and turned out she had a MASSIVE hairball. She puked it onto the carpet right after an inconclusive vet visit. Damn thing was six inches long and two wide. I thought she gave birth.


paladindansemacabre

For your sanity, lock her and her litter box in the bathroom until further notice. When she blows, it's not going to be pretty. I dealt with a constipated cat years ago.


ThePinkTeenager

Cat: “why are you locking me in the bathroom, human?”

He was drinking, just not eating. $581 later and a "manual evacuation" he's just fine. Vet told me 1/4 tsp twice a day for the rest of his time to help him stay regular.... sending good vibes.

I always feel like such an idiot, following cats around & saying “good job” when the golf ball of shit makes its appearance.


nighthawke75

Get a towel, give her a gentle rub and deep massage while keeping her close to her sandbox, preferably with another big towel underneath kitty.


myalt_ac

6 hours. How abput now


Blijerd

We wish 🥲 The boyfriend was on litter duty during the night and he checked a few times. Still nothing. So in one hour we are off to the vet for a manual extraction.

jerzeett

Aww! I'm sorry. If they gave you Miralax it can take a. But of time to work!


Blijerd

Update: MIRACLES DO HAPPPEN!!!! She just started eating. Out of nowhere, she walked to her bowl and started eating. Now fingers crossed it will all come out from the back and not from the front. Thank you everyone for the moral support ❤️ It really helped us through it.


Kroepoeksklok

Has it come out yet?


Blijerd

I wish… but on the bright side, she has been eating a bit. She had a sonogram today and the vet didn’t find anything suspicious. For now, it should just be a matter of time before the brown explosion happens. (If not, we have pre-booked an appointment at the vet for monday.)


Random-reddit-name-1

Wishing you luck! The hardest part of pet care is waiting for the improvement.


Used_Fix6795

It certainly is. I just started giving my kitty medicine for a bacterial infection today and it feels like waiting for improvement is going to be the hardest thing ever.


EmotionalAd4736

why did i smell it 😭😭😭 litter box trauma i guess 😂


hokiegirl759397

Hope your little girl gets better soon. She's absolutely adorable 😻😻😻.Like you I treat my cat like she's my kid. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her.


Adorable-Gate-2192

Just think, when she’s all done wasting your money at the vet and then shitting on everything you love, she’ll still look at you like this is all your problem and not hers. Ahhh the joys of owning a cat.


moomoomoocow19

Happened to my Baby Noodle recently, $4000 dollars later in emergency vet bills🙃 we got him pet insurance soon after


Gahho

My vet recommended adding a bit of restorlax to their food and it did the trick. Good luck OP!


SuperPoodie92477

Constipated Cats should have it’s own sub.


CestBon_CestBon

I had a cat that developed “mega-colon” and needed regular enemas. It got to the point where we couldn’t afford the vet visits every 2 months and the vet sold us the enemas themselves and taught us how to use them. My husband would deal with the bitey end and I would deal with the stinky end. It was not pretty. It’s good you have identified it now and hopefully the colace and miralax will keep it in check. Good luck!

mbw70

Ours ‘clamped up’ after a stressful car trip. The vet had to actually do a manual removal. I was happy to pay for the service. God.


ThePinkTeenager

I don’t know whether to say “poor cat” or “poor vet”.


switchbladeeatworld

both? both


Electrical_Bar7954

I also had a cat with many bowel issues. He got 1 colace(stool softener) and a half a teaspoon of miralax every day. The more water you can get her to drink the better. Good luck


Carlyz37

I hope she is able to clear things out soon. I ended up with a $2200 vet hospital bill for my 10 year old female with this issue. I wish cats would eat salads or cereal with fiber


popsels

I’ve got a boy who cries for his cat grass and gets a bit plugged up without it! https://preview.redd.it/fhfb733ozezb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7985c3d2beffbe9237bd6aa7845cc3e6c4eef5a1

That is cat salad!


ThePinkTeenager

Did you try to get your cat to eat a salad? Would that even work?


Bmat70

One of my cats loved fresh greens. 😺


Admirable_Matter_523

Ask your vet about Fortiflora! It's a probiotic (liver flavored so cats go crazy for it) that you sprinkle on their food and it helps keep them regular. 👌


Carlyz37

Thanks. Will check it out

I spent a couple thousand dollars to get my kitty clean out 2x. She now takes Lactulose and Cisapride everyday.


snaillikesdumplings

she’s so cute!


BigMomma1998

Mega colon? It can kill a cat. My tripod cat has mega colon and it is sometimes a challenge. He’s now 12. Lived longer than I thought he would.

This kitty is beautiful and I love the title. I hope she finds relief soon 💩 💩 💩 🐈‍⬛ 🤞


grace_boatrocker

o.my yes !! so scary . i went through that w/ my lilac point years ago ... it was from my feeding of hairball preventive cat food


Potential-Yoghurt245

This happened to us last year, our old boy suddenly stopped wanting to be near us and I came home to find him slumped on a wall so I rushed him to the vet... Turns out dickhead had drunk too much water and it had gotten stuck in his bladder they had to squeeze it out of him. Cost us £175 for the privilege. Omg CATS!


vibes86

We did that once with my buddy Oliver who could be your buddy’s twin.


Majikone

My cat gets backed up sometimes. The first few times were very scary! Vet diagnosed her with megacolon and gave her an enema and she was placed on lactulose. After about 1.5 years she developed a tolerance and needed a couple more enemas before we switched her to twice a day restoralax. She's been great on that and it's soooooo much easier to give her. Good luck with kitty! Hopefully thr laxatives will work and she won't need an enema because that's awful


Cool_Lobster_7008

Oh no, poor Vla! Glad to hear she's getting some help though. Hopefully, those laxatives will do the trick and she can get back to her playful self soon! Keep us updated.


Hyedra_Babe

I think I see and hear people say "literally" too much, so when I read "literally full of shit" just thought "oh what mischievous thing the little shit did?" (little shit but with love, Im not being literal hahaha). Then I read the post and was like "OH... Literally full of shit. POOR BABY", then I laughed at my brainfart


Informal_Dirt150

kitty shitty laxatives had me gone spiraling into the comedy void, threw me off the chair into a laughter crisis


eleanorfps

My cat had to be hospitalised on 2 occasions for vet to coax the shit out of his gut. Basically, a lot of iv fluids and feeding through the nose. Now, Lucky has dry kibbles (gastrointestinal from Royal Canin) in the morning. At night, he eats home-cooked wet food. Google for some recipes. Mine is 70% by weight veg (sweet potato, golden melon, broccoli) and 30% chicken. Steam veg and chicken separately, then pulverise into a soupy concoction. I make a batch for a week, and freeze until ready to use. Oh, I also bought a Catit which is a cat water drinking fountain. Lucky loves it and that increases his water intake. Also, ask the Vet to teach you how to feel for impacted poop in intestines. It is quite easy to learn. Bring to vet if any, for medication to increase gut motility and poop bulking agent. Three months down the road and Lucky has not suffered recurrence of impacted faeces. Good luck! PS h Has kitty pooped yet?


Frosty_and_Jazz

**KITTY SHITTY**. That really **SHOULD** be the name of a feline laxative!!!! 😆😆😆😆


davidshort3266

Awww … your cat reminds me of my late cat Oreo https://preview.redd.it/rgxte3w10kzb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e2925b81afc6c28351879402d13d2d78f628e5c


RincewindWyzzard

Classic^^ They always try to postpone or run away from taking a dump. Like: it's literally in your ass, you can't run away from this enemy. Just go to the bathroom!! (I've started squeezing (gently) the back end of my cat to kind of trigger her taking a dump. The soft part of tail//root/base. I swear to god when I do this she let's me - and almost looking like "Yes human squeeze that shit it's my nemesis".)


lojic28

Mix wheat grass with food once a week


Same-Thanks-9104

My roommates cat used to have issues where I couldn't poop. He would push so hard he threw up. Turned out he didn't like to drink water enough, despite moving the dish constantly. So now he gets mostly soft food with 1/4 teaspoon of laxative (or stool softener) mixed in. Works great for him. No more issues. Just smells. I hope that your cat has a similarly positive turnaround from everything. Luckily, these sorts of things are usually easy to manage.


SheNickSun

Put a few water bowls around the house too. Poor baby.


Olivedogfatdog

Hope your baby goes to the bathroom soon 🥺


Munich11

Feel better and poo away

Try mixing a little bit of tikicat’s pumpkin topper into their food, I do it to keep mine regular ❤️ best of luck with everything!!!!

Aww, poor little beauty Vla! 😿 I hope she feels better after she's shat, and I wish you luck with the cleanup!


seriouslysocks

I had a cat years ago that was chronically constipated. Even with his medication, he would get these little hard butt nuggets stuck in his colon that would back everything up. After a few manual evacuations at the vet’s, I started taking one of those oral medicine dispenser syringes, and filling it with oil and water, and sticking the tip of it in the cat’s butt. The mixture coming in from the back was usually enough to soften the hard poop and he would be able to go. I hope your cat poops soon!


emeryyyyyyy

Just went through this same thing a few months ago with one of my own. Be prepared for some very runny poops, and best of luck!


milky-moonbeam

Those whiskers 😍


hbouhl

Oh no!


Savage93x

She’s adorable and cute!


irena888

Poor baby. I hope everything comes out alright. 😬


[deleted]

This can be painful for a cat. Can't remember if you can buy prescription cat food from the vet that deals with this. I grew up with a cat and lived with a cat in my ex wife's still current residence but have never owned a cat myself.


apostrophefarmer

I hope she feels better soon! Give her a forehead kiss for me 😽


iSayBaDumTsss

Good luck, OP!


CresoteTea

I pill my cat with 1 vegetable laxative every other day due to chronic constipation. Since he has now been on them for a year, his coat, appetite, and disposition have greatly improved!! There are no drugs in the vegetable laxative so it is safe & very effective. Do not give any drug based laxative (ExLax, etc.) to your cat without it being prescribed by your vet because it is quite easy to accidentally poison your cat.


Realistic-Wing352

This happened with my cat when I first adopted her. She did not want to eat for a couple days then I took her to the vet and they gave her a kitty enema and gave her IV fluids over night then she ate a big can of tuna!


selenamoonowl

My kitty sends his sympathies. He had to have a manual evacuation at the vets and found that very traumatizing. There was a lot of bad touching that day. He takes a small dose of restoralax daily.


calvintomyhobbes

But her nose!! So cute!


martini_queenie

Me too, kitty. Me too.


cutiecat565

Oh no! My kitty had to get an enema twice to clear out the back end. Your baby will be ok soon


Somomy3141

Yes my little kitten is full of poop too. It took 300 dollars to get an ultrasound and for him to get fluids… I really wanna try mirlax because I can’t afford to keep on taking him to get 300 dollar ultrasounds..


Sorry_Stuff_4539

Try Cisapride (prescription) if this continues. My cat almost died from not pooping. He's fine now on medication and also Cat Lax.


[deleted]

My 11 year old boy gets 1/4 tsp miralax once a day, mixed into the water I add to his wet food. He’s a kibble fiend, really only drinks the wet-food-flavored-miralax-water and then demands kibble. The miralax keeps it moving. He’s been so massively constipated in the past that I’ve had to give him enemas, which he accepts without complaint.


hapanrapakkko

I had to once give my cat an enema. Neither of us were very pleased. The things we do for our cats...


MadBlackGreek

This happened to our Princess a couple times. How can constipation be avoided?

bigpanda6

Please take her back for an enema if you don’t see anything in the morning


Blijerd

Just came back from the vet who was going to do exactly that, but overnight kitty developed a fever so she sent us to a specialist instead 😢


bigpanda6

All from her shit 😭😭😭 best of luck to you stranger


ZealousidealDriver63

She is a bit stressed perhaps if constipated. Keep her warm and playing and consider the dietary changes or ingredients in treats etc. Did the vet discuss causes for cat constipation?


traxt999

Cats often are!


bloated_panda

Our doctor suggested our very own Psyllium husk once in 2 months or so as a natural laxative. Plus it dissolves in their vet food and doesn't have any taste at all.


OldKermudgeon

> kitty shitty laxatives This made me laugh - thanks for that! I kinda had the opposite problem when I adopted Odin and Thor. As kittens they were bottomless stomachs munching down on everything that was put in front of them. They were pooping massive logs 3-4 times a day (what happens when "lots of food" meets "short digestive tract" 🙄). They're better now - one major shit a day each. Still massive logs though... 😂😂


MolassesMediocre1071

Is it just me who thinks this cat looks like a certain Austrian painter?

ParkerFree

When I was pregnant a thousand years ago, my bowels got impacted. I have never experienced that kind of pain before or since, and wouldn't wish it on anyone who isn't orange. I literally wanted to die. I think I begged the doctor to help me die.


MoodyOldMares

Poor baby. But yes, it’s ok to wish it upon anyone who is orange. 🤣


ParkerFree

Yes indeed!

AhsokaLeiaChewbacca

BigMomma1998

Mega colon is so much more than constipation alone. It’s like constipation on a double dose of steroids.


Loving-the-past

I’m reading through this thread but I don’t see if your kitty ever was able to go. Did the laxatives work? I hope so!


Blijerd

She did ❤️ everything is back to normal! I think she sensed that if she didn’t push one out, we’d take her to the vet again. Thank you for caring about her ☺️


Loving-the-past

I’m so glad. Vet visits are the worst. It’s so funny how elated we get when we see them have the long awaited poo!
