Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2003Cat with bowel problem
I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute! She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat. The last few weeks he has started screaming when he has a bowel movement, he is not constipated, occasionally it is a little loose and he gets it all over the bathroom, he has no other symptoms and plays, acts fine. He has been to the vet repeatedly and they cannot find a problem and say he does not scream there. Could anyone give us a clue what is happening, she is very concerned. Thank you for your help.

Try something without the chemicals. Do you feed him milk or cheese? Most cats are lactose intolerant. What food did he eat at the Vet Hospital> He might also need a change of food. Good luck. > > I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute! > > She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat.

I have an adult tom of 13 1/2 yrs that drinks a few ounces of milk everytime I put it in front of him (3-4 times a week). Constipation ... just like people ... need more water and fibre. But don't rush out and whip up a bowl of Bran Flakes and milk just yet.

LOL The normal cat's diet doesn't include milk and once a cat is weened from mama's milk, they don't get much. Just like humans, if they don't get milk products, it results in lactose intolarance. Your cats don't have this since you give them milk.....which they don't need btw. > > In news:scibnv8m14i07otg0lquccsht3daki6mkv@4ax.com, > > m. L.

In Rusty's case, I got him so young (est 2 weeks old) that he got only cow's milk until he weaned himself. But to this day, he won't pass up a small bowl of moo juice set down next to his Cat Chow. Hehehhe. Rusty eats ANYTHING we do, in small samples. The list includes cottage cheese, sharp cheese, pepperoni, good quality sausage links, French fried potatoes, milk, carrot juice, coconut milk, steak scraps, deep fried halibut (unless its got malt vinegar on it), turkey, baked chicken, and real mashed potato. Is that odd for a cat? Yes, it is! -- ~~Philip "Never let school interfere with your education - Mark Twain" > I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute! > She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat.

Stephanie Has the vet checked his anal sacs? If they become clogged, it can be quite painful for the cat to poop, and in the worst case it can lead to a nasty abscess. The good news is that this problem is easy for the vet to "fix". -Sandra >> I am writing this for my Mom, she does not compute! >> She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat.

I did, however, have a dog some 40 years ago that did -- he got really "smelly".
