Is a long haired cat?  If so do you brush him/her?  You can give Petromalt
for hairballs (but it also helps the stool to exit easier.)  Occasionally
you can give very small amounts of mineral oil when they are having the
constipation problem.  Is this an every day thing problem?

Jean,
One of my cats has had megacolon for 4 years. Two supplements that have
helped her tremendously are Ester C and B 12 (methylcobalamin form). I
also give her lactulose, Chinese meds, and SubQ fluids which have worked
well for her.

Of all the above I believe the B12 has been the most helpful. She has
not had an episode since last spring when I added the B 12. I learned
about the 2 vitimins on the feline megacolon newsgroup.

If your cat also has chronic renal failure DO NOT use the Ester C but
the B12 is not a problem for CRF cats.

One of the vet techs at my holistic vet's was thrilled with the results
when she used the Ester C for her megacolon cat. Now my holistic vet is
passing along the info I have learned from the people on the feline
megacolon newsgroup.

I hope they work as well for your boy as they do for Patches.

Michele,
