Megacolon/Blood in urine/multiple issues!

Hi I adopted a kitty with hind limb paralysis about 2 years ago. Since day 1, it was evident that he had constipation issues, although he is fully continent and uses a flat tray. Ben has suspected Megacolon and had to be de-obstipated 3 times so far. I am trying to manage this condition with lactulo...

Re: Introducing Ben (various medical issues)

hi and thank you both for responding. Just a brief update for now but I am growing increasingly concerned about Ben. This morning, just 3 days after having an enema, he was straining really hard to poop again. He was very miserable and his tummy was very bloated. Crying a lot, particularly if you to...

Introducing Ben (various medical issues)

Hi I am fostering a gorgeous kitty from Egypt, called Ben. Ben arrived in the UK last week and has been with me since late Saturday night. He was found as a kitten just a couple of months old, with hind limb paralysis. It can only be assumed that he had met with some kind of trauma or accident. When...

Re: Cat with hind limb paralysis needs a home

He so needs an experienced Mommy who will love him forever and do their best by him. It's so sad that he was owned I believe and then since his accident, the owners no longer wanted him :( I could never give up on my kids.

Re: Cat with hind limb paralysis needs a home

Leah, this is a post from Facebook "This is a special appeal for anyone who can open their heart and homes to a paralysed cat. This poor cat fell from a balcony and will not regain any feeling in his rear end. He is also incontinent so will need a very special home with an understanding owner w...

Re: Cat with hind limb paralysis needs a home

Hi Leah My understanding is (I'm just crossposting, special needs cats are my passion) that this poor boy fell from a 3rd floor balcony or fell 3 floors from a balcony, leaving him with hind limb paralysis and the need to have his bladder expressed. I would imagine the owners no longer want him and ...

Diagnosis?

Hi all. I've been on here a few times and have found everyone to be very kind, practical and helpful. One of my special needs pets is a cat I adopted from Romania - Liza. Before Liza came to me, I saw some footage of her where she could just about walk but it was very disjointed. By the time she cam...

He is absolutely gorgeous! I have shared him on my Facebook page, on Kitty Connections Adoption page, Kitty Connections Disabled and Special Needs Cats, SOS for Special Needs Cats and Cats with Paralysis and Mobility Issues.

I hope he gets a home soon and bless you for saving him!xxx

This concerns a cat with hind limb paralysis in Bosnia. She was rescued and is being taken care of by the rescuer who loves her to bits. The kitty is being...

Re: Incontinent cat with really runny stools :(

Thanks both :) I thought a minor miracle had occurred when I got home last night; Luna's nappy was off and the laminate wasn't crayoned with poop! The abandoned diaper had some poop in it but it was firmer (I wouldn't say it was firm though but definitely more 'formed') than it has been for a while....
