It could be as easy as a diet change and knowing more about what she eats would be helpful.

The likelihood that there are more successful remedies to Mouse’s problem is very good once the underlying cause is properly diagnosed. I would encourage you to seek a second opinion from a veterinarian who has extensive and current knowledge in nutrition and gastrointestinal diseases. Bowel problems are serious and Mouse needs a better long term solution than Catlax or enemas. She is far too young to have to deal with something so terrible for the rest of her life and I understand why you both might feel distressed about it. Hi Cat Fleming, I am so sorry to hear about Mouse and her mega bowel problem and sympathize with you and her. I worry that’s its only gonna get harder for Mouse to ‘go’ the older she gets! Please tell me if there’s any other way to help my poor kitty? – Cat Fleming I asked about surgery, but he said there wasn’t any. My vet said that’s exactly what I should be doing & if she doesn’t poop in a week he’ll have to “clean” her out (enemas, etc) & the stress of it could kill her. I’ve given her plenty of hairball medicine like Catlax daily & that’s the only way she can get out her gigantic hard stools, although she still has to strain a lot. At 6 mos a vet said the “lump” in her abdomen was a lipoma, but I noticed that the lump moved & she had very large stools. I noticed that it was harder to get her to poop than the others. She was a newborn that I bottle fed along with her 2 sisters. I have a 4 year old cat named Mouse who has a mega bowel problem.
