I can offer advice on Constipation...

Hello,

I had an issue with my kitty, he got severly constipated, had many of the same signs, since then the vet gave me a prescription for Lactulose, I have a bottle at home, as soon as I notice him not pooping or his poop being hard I give him the lactulose. Luckily now that I am aware of what is going on I mix the pumpkin with some tuna (he hates the pumpkin) and try to give him some at least twice a week so I haven't had to use the lactulose very often but it works like a charm.

I really feel for you and your kitty. I have had my share of issues with my ragdolls and feel like I am getting taken in by the vets. I just spent 600 on a torn nail this week, she is worse now then she was after we came home from emergency....it's soo hard to find a vet you can trust and won't exploit you when your weak and having to make serious decisions. Just my opinion.

I am glad I found this post I have learned some new tricks to try as an alternative to the pumpkin!

good luck and please keep us posted.
