Re: Cat having trouble with bowel movement

Yes. The vet looked at the X-Rays and he believes Biber has megacolon. He likes to continue with the medication first. The way I understand, even though her hernia needs to be taken care of, the underlying cause for that is megacolon. So there is a chance that hernia might reoccur if megacolon is no...

Re: Cat having trouble with bowel movement

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. Last Friday night Biber was able to pass a large one and started having regular bowel movements during the weekend. I talked to the vet and decided to wait and see how she would react to her prescription before deciding to have a surgery for her perenial h...

Re: Cat having trouble with bowel movement

He said the same thing. It usually happens in dogs but not in cats. He did this surgery before on dogs. He is recommended to me from a friend I work with. She trusts him for a long time with her 5 dogs and 3 cats. When she urinates it comes out pretty quick. I don't think she has any problems with u...

I took my cat (her name is Biber) to a different vet after work today. I asked my original vet to fax her records to this new vet and they did but they didn't include the X-Ray. New vet examined Biber and even though he likes to see the X-Rays and talk to my original vet first, he is pretty confiden...

They did an X-ray and it showed no obstructions. After enema she was able to do bowel movements for a couple days but she got blocked at the same location again.

Cat having trouble with bowel movement

Hello Tracy, My other cat is sick now. She is 7 years old and started vomiting recently. I also noticed a little bump on her back right next to her tail ends. I took her to the vet and after an x-ray they realized her bowel was full and there was a bigger piece at the end and was not coming out. So ...

Re: Cat is not normal after Urinary Tract Infection

Last updates from Ugur: He started to eat his own last saturday (right after our conversation) Dr prescribed Purina veterinary diet (urinary) which he hates it. We still did not cut dry food. When he completely recovers and his full appetite comes back he'll be on that diet forever. Also we ordered ...

Thanks for everyone's support in this forum. We got Ugurcan's blood work results back last night and the kidney levels were back to normal. And we brought him back home yesterday :D. I am going to try to attach his lab report with this posting. He lost a lot of weight and he still does not have much...

Re: Cat is not normal after Urinary Tract Infection

Hi Traci, Here is the latest update: Vet called Sunday and told us: Ugur ate little bit his own which is a positive sign and his energy level was about the same. Today we visited him and got the blood test results: BUN drop down to 86 Creatinine level is 3.6 He looks better, urinating fine and start...
