Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

Don't give up on Sabre! You can do it!! Yes, I am very, very lucky that he improved. It's honestly a miracle. I hope your kitty has one too. xo

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

Good idea about putting the boxes side by side. It might confuse my other cat, but we'll see. He's currently in a giant box!

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! I've been meaning to reach out to you too and update everyone on this forum. Caesar cat is doing great!! I've been tracking his progress - he's peeing and pooing on his own now. And just the other day he did his normal thing of dashing through the house after pooing. He ...

Re: How long to wait for cat with bowel issues and nerve dam

Hi all, Good news! Caesar has been trying to use the litterbox for the past two days for pee. I don't think he has full control of his bladder because when it comes out it sprays and he misses the box itself. Is that normal? We're going to try and get him a longer box or something he can easily walk...

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

Aww, hugs. Caesar eats wet and dry food, it's difficult because I have two cats, but maybe I should just separate them during feeding time. I hope the weight loss isn't a bad sign.

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

Was just responding to Critters that I wish my cat had the same thing, but does not. Yah I'm not sure the acu will work, but it's the last thing I can try. Unfortunately, I don't have a job, so there's really only so much more I can do for him financially. Beyond that I will keep trying the expressi...

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

That's so interesting. I wish it was that way for Caesar. I had to take him in for an enema and they said it was good because he was really backed up. Of course, he come home and immediately ate and hasn't pooped yet despite the laculose and fiber in the food. I just don't want to keep up this cycle...

Re: How long to wait for cat with bowel issues and nerve dam

Wow, thank you so much for the tips. I will try your method for checking if he's constipated by checking my other cat. Also, thinking of the poop in inches is a really good idea. I'll see what he expels over the weekend and if it doesn't seem like that much I might take him to the vet on Monday (I d...

Re: Broken leg, likp tail, no bowel control

awww, i'm glad to hear he's doing better - despite being an escape artist! :) mine is doing okay too, i've been trying to figure out how much laculose to give him to make him poop since i haven't really figured out how to manually express that. i'm able to do the bladder, but that's it. i'm planning...

Re: How long to wait for cat with bowel issues and nerve dam

Thank you so much for responding and I appreciate hearing other stories of people that have been through this. I don't mind the clean ups and luckily we don't have carpet, so it's easy to pick up in our apartment. One of the stressful thing is managing travel, but so far we've just been bringing bot...

Re: How long to wait for cat with bowel issues and nerve dam

Thanks. I think increasing the laculose and adding fiber to his food helped. This morning I woke up to "kerplunk, scratch, kerplunk, scratch" not in the litter box, but on the floor. He got out two big ones and some littles one. I think he could still be a bit backed up though coz his bell...
