If your cat is straining, he or she may be constipated or blocked with a urinary obstruction. A urinary blockage is an immediate veterinary emergency, while constipation can often be treated at home. Dr Jones shows you how to tell the difference, then what to do.

My cat hasn’t moved, ate, but drank water in three days now...
Edit: my cat did not die! Hooray! He’s back to normal.
Please see your vet
Veterinary Secrets
We took him, he’s staying there for one more day, still don’t know what the problem is
@@VeterinarySecrets my cat been constipated and hasn't ate in a day. She throws up anything we give her. I think she might have a hairball stuck. We can't afford to take her to the vet. Any thoughts
Legit I have the same problem with my male cat! I’m so worried about him because he won’t even groom himself
Julissa Flores this is happening to my cat now any help??
Murray is NOT having it. 😂
True
I just want to leave a message quickly that Dr Jones might read, before you get thousands of comments! I just want to thank you for all you have done! You have saved me a fortune in veterinary bills! I have tried two of your remedies, one for conjunctivitis and another recently for a hotspot (a burst cyst) on one of my dogs a few days ago and it has worked very well! (I have 4 dogs + a cat)! Dr Jones you are a treasure! 💖
Thank you for your comment, Sally. It made my day!
@@VeterinarySecrets please help me I have a 6 months old male cat nd his stomach is bloated from yesterday I don't know what to do
@@manishakarmakar3309 I need help with that too
FANTASTIC!..
BLESS YOU
I use stool suppositories on my cat impacted stool’s with lubricants KY jelly my cat in the bag put newspaper underneath I leave suppository in wear gloves my cat was purring when I clean his anal sacks. For regular constipation I use oil mixed with honey water syringe him he loves that too Doctor Jones cbd oil before my procedure helps too. Of course can foods always with added water works well.
My cat had a urinary blockage and infection , but the blockage wasn’t crystals. Knowing to feel his bladder is very helpful. That’s what the vet did and cleared the obstruction and put him on antibiotics for the infection. He’s doing well. Wish I knew this beforehand. Good video.
Seriously Doc, Thank You so Much. You will be blessed for helping your fellow man and their Buddies / pets.
You're welcome, Charles! Thank you for always supporting my channel.
I appreciate the thorough information! It’ll be very helpful to ask my Vet straight forward questions to resolve the issues with my kitty🐱Thank•You so much🦋✨🌻
I really admire your ways with animals. Thank You for sharing. Bright Blessings!!!
Royal Canin fiber response works. We had 2 trips to the vet in one week as our cat was constipated. Vet recommended Royal Canin. After a week of very little dropping in his litter box he dropped a very long hairball pooh followed by another. Thats what it was, a hairball he didn't throw up and went thru to the other end.
My cat often gets blockages, I'll try that for sure
How long did it take for your cat to poop it out
My kitty had a bowel obstruction years ago. It was an emergency;she needed to spend time overnight (2) at the Vet. She has been on Royal Canin Fiber Response ever since. It works great, but I will look at these holistic ideas!
Constipated cats are always cats that are given dry food to eat. I stopped giving my cats dry food and their constipation got better, but not cured. I put old fashioned cooked oatmeal in their wet food, this works. I also put spring water in their wet food. Now I have to keep a small bottle of water next to their wet food, because they won't eat it now and want it refreshed with water till it's the consistency of a stew.
Generally yes
My cat was constipated all of the time on wet food. We switched him to a high fiber kibble per vet instructions and he was constipation free for years. He only recently became constipated again so I’m not sure what to do.
Please do a video on caring for aging cats & dogs. What to feed, how often. What things to look for as they age. What to do for them to help them live long happy lives. Thank you for your AWESOME videos, packed w/ great info.
Already did! Please check this out: th-cam.com/video/nTAS4ZyWL1o/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Dr. Jones. This means the world to me that you listen to your viewers and want to help us with our animals. KitKit thanks you too. Sorry to the kitty that we asked you to do this . ^.^ But it was for a good reason. Again Thank you Dr Jones.
You're welcome, Patty. Murray doesn't mind and went back to nap.
Oh! I will do this! I have five cats and I love them so much! Thank you doctor!
You're welcome, Diana!
For a urinary tract infection you cant take them right away because ever damn vet office requires an appointment no walk ins how senseless is that
They piss me off so much. I get appointments are important but with stuff like that internal they should make exceptions... I don’t let me cat suffer... medical cost is already disgusting ... so why is an appointment more than my weeks lunch??? Ugh!!!
Of course they require an appointment. They are tending for other people and their animals, and need they need the time and space to fill a new person in.
@@llrainll Yes.. But what if it was an emergency?! The cat could die with this situation. 🙄
That really upsets me as well . Especially when I can see that my kitty is in pain .
I don't know where you are but I know of an emergency pet hospital here you can take any time. They are open from 6pm to 8am. It'll cost you though. I've had to take my cat there a couple of time over her lifetime
Thank you very much for this demonstration and explanation. You saved my cat! Really really appreciate you and your content :)
You’re most welcome! Happy to help. You can learn more about pet health info and tips in my free ebook.

Always good to see you and I can never say “ thank you “ enough, but I will try. Haha curious if they are constipated or blocked will they still eat and drink?
My cat would fight me if I tried to do some of these things...lol
Thanks for any input
What a happy and content looking cat
Thank you 😊
So simply and calmly explained Appreciate it ❤
Thank you sooo much Dr for the Great information!! Loved the video!!
Thanks for dropping a comment, Jackie!
Thankyou Murry!!!
Your beautiful too!!
Thank you so much for your cat videos on this matter!! I really appreciate all the knowledge you share!
Glad they're helpful
Steve Erwin feline version! ♥️
YES!!!!
You are so adorable w your cat! The love you have for him is obvious. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and compassion! Meow! ❤😸❤🙏
Also, great job Murray! MeowOL!
Murry says stop showing my stuff to The whole world, this is embarrassing 🐾❤️ He is a gorgeous cat.
He says thank you:)
ha ha
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the description: "the cuddle part of his tummy," for locating the bladder. That is all.
Thanks I missed "cuddle part". I may be able to palpate for the bladder now but where and how to check the colon I still don't get. It's obviously an experience thing hard to explain in a show and tell.
Thank you so much for this video! This helped me decide if I needed to take my cat to the vet or if there was something that I could do at home. I decided the symptoms were closer to a blockage than constipation, so I took him to the vet and that was exactly what it was! The vet said this was an emergency, fortunately we caught it in time and he is now recovering 🙂
I'm so glad you got to the vet in time!

My cat is behaving like something is wrong in his stomach and mouth. He is unable to sit comfortably. Sometime he is completely alright and the other time he is in so pain dragging his legs to sit. And he looks to about vomit and something is stopping in his mouth from vomiting. Looks like he is having stomach pain which occurs because of vomiting. I am so helpless. I will take him to vet tomorrow. All I hope is he get out fine from this situation 😭. I lost my previous cat. I don't want to lose him.
@@mohammedubed7000 take him to the pet hospital
I am dealing with the same thing with my lil girl. My vet found that her colon is holding 4 times the amount of cat poop and it has difficulty coming out. So we immediately started her on a liquid laxative he gave me because the pumpkin, olive oil with water I gave wasn’t helping so I started her on the laxative yesterday so she can start breaking it down in her system until she can pass it and it comes out. If it doesn’t happen within the next 7-8 days, he said I may have to get her surgery so they can open it up and remove it. God I am praying that she can pass it and get rid of it naturally. That’s what I am waiting on and monitoring her while giving lil bit wet food and lots of water. He also gave her some IV fluids yesterday to help.
@@user-rd6ov5pt4v hi, is your kitty okay now?
Lol, the way he jumped back every time the cat made even the slightest movement was so funny.
Yes he knows when Murray is about to give him a good ripping. I been been ripped a few times and it aint fun..
Thank you so much, Dr. Jones. ❤
You are very welcome
,,Sort of cooperative!"🤣😻
Murray is not having it 😂 thank you for your videos though! I’ve learned a lot from you
Thank you that was very helpful
You're welcome
Kitty was straining this morning all hunched up
I have been giving them diatomaceous earth for round worms ( 1 week on 1 week off and back on 1 week; 1 teas twice a day). So I thought maybe she was constipated from that.
She was quivering in her lower back so then I thought it might be a urinary blocking which made me afraid to administer water. So stuck in the middle of what I should do. I learned from your video how to check for which it could be.
Her stomach and bladder area felt relaxed but she was getting worse.
I gave her a dose of some kitty laxative containing; Liquid petroleum, cod liver oil, and soybean oil.
2 hours later she was still not any better. I don’t have any money for the vet so I decided to give her an enema.
I used a 1 ml. syringe and administered 4. of them. I had to hold her in a towel facing backwards between my legs and lift her tail high tail high. Be sure you sand the syringe to smooth any rough edges before doing this and lubricate it with whatever you have available
I held her by the gruff and placed her in the litter box and in about 30 seconds she pooped out to pretty long turds.
They sounded like 2 rocks when they hit the plastic side of the litter box.
She is still sitting in the litter box and it has been about 30 minutes.
I will up date you on her progress, I think she’s still really backed up inside.
Thank you Dr. Jones !😊
Thanks for the advice.
Welcome
I had a cat years ago that had fuss. He couldn't pee. At the time was known that high Ash content in his food was not good for him and it's what caused it.
OMG...Murray is totally pissed off! Poor guy!
Yup
Thanks for the upload I'm allergic to cats fur Sir but I love man's best friend. You're awesome Dr Sir.
Thank you for always watching!
Thanks for this, and apologies in advance for the long comment/question. Our 8yo. female cat has had intermittent constipation for years--she is on a commercial raw diet & drinks water. She also has difficulty getting up hairballs, and when she does vomit one (a few times a year at most), they are quite large & she ends up with digestive upset/vomiting foamy bile for 2-3 days. Last episode we had to call our mobile vet who determined she was compacted with stool; they gave her an enema + recommended miralax BID for 2 weeks & she's been good for a couple months; but just had another episode tonight, and I wonder if stress ever plays a roll with this issue...she's been extra stressed this week (our dog being inside with the weather turning cold). Thank you!!!
Dr. Jones! You are my favorite that on TH-cam exclamation I wish you were in New York exclamation so my one year-old Persian chinchilla is getting over an inflamed bladder due to crystals plus he’s constipated so the poor thing has been peeing outside the box and pooping inside the box for the last three weeks. It’s been heartbreaking to see him going through this because he’s so sweet He never gets aggressive with his mommy and daddy. How long do you think before he will start peeing inside the box?
Thank you. I'm giving my cat hairball medication with laxatone in it. He was earing a lot of dry snacks. Now he is on wet food. I'm taking him to the vet tomorrow
Good to hear.
He is a actually going tomorrow but the laxatone seems to be working. He is more his normal happy self. His sides arent poking out. His tail is up and he is talking to me💖More energy. Wants to chase squirrels today. 😁
murray is like stop showing my butt to everyone lol good video i think murray needs to meet jackson galxey :0
I gave him raw egg yolk and he was doing great on it,used to be constipated all the time and run around the house like crazy but now he gets semi loose stool because of it
Never give animals raw egg or raw meat, it can easily make them deathly ill
Would your cat like moan/yell but in a short distressed sounding way, like eerie sounding?
I've read the vaccines you recommend for cats in your book and i have a question. My cat is 4 years old, and has never received any vaccines. Should i just give her the ones you recommend for adult ones directly?
RAVE! I have just started giving my little girl the Ultimate Feline Health Formula..So far I can say she Loves it, and so do I! I put a bit in her usual food and have never seen this finicky eater eat so quickly, Wow! I then put just a tad (as to not waste) in a food she had recently started turning her nose up to (though I know it is a good one) since I introduced a new protein, trying to start a little rotation..and she is eating it right up again. I was looking forward to the great formulation of ingredients in this but now I also have real hope in her gaining some weight, some more healthy muscle. 🧡THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD DEAL ON THIS GREAT SUPPLEMENT DR JONES🧡
Thanks so much Angie!
I have a cat that needs to get the syringe you showed can you give me a brand or exact measurements and I would put it through on Amazon I have no pet stores here
Getting ready to try an enema on a rescue. 9 weeks approx. Non feral ,yet doesn't get not litter box. It has extreme calicivirus and can barely see from the conjunctivitis (was given medicine to administer have given partial dosage is recommended by the technician ).
I'm going to use warm water.
1ml. syringe.
Would MCT be safe?
It's hard with 3 cats. 1 of the 3 cats poops at least once a week outside the box. She meows VERY loudly and sounds distressed before she poops. I always know when she's getting ready to poop outside the box because of her vocalization. She's been on Prozac for for around 3 years for peeing outside the box. This was a last ditch effort as I had tried everything except a behaviorist which is super expensive. I was shocked at the cost frankly. She's having breakthrough peeing every so often. She always held her pee for a long time before going to the box. She then pees a TON all at once and then flies out of the box. I've tried no less than a dozen different kinds and brands of litter over the last 5 years. I've had various kinds of litter boxes and have settled on a high sided open top one. Still, she's a nervous cat. She's made great strides in 5 years. She gets on the bed with me every night for a few hours. She hops up on my chair to be brushed in the mornings and I take her out to the fenced in back yard for around 30min-1hour daily. I've read that grounding could help stressed out cats....it hasn't. So while she's made progress in our personal relationship, she's gone backwards in her litter box habits. The first year we had her, she always went in the box. The first day we got her she went straight to the box. She was a stray my husband found at a hotel when he was out for town working, but she was being fed by the employees, so not feral, but definitely has a touch of that I think. Anyway, don't know what to do now. I can't let her damage the entire house. But I can't give her up or put her out either. So I'm stuck....just waiting to see how long it'll be before I find that she's peed on something again.
Her poops are usually normal looking, albeit very large for a cat, imo

Hi my Snowshoe siamese has had issues with constipation. I took him to the vet a few years ago and they game him 2 enimas as well as fluid! Fast fwd I've come across the same problem but can't afford another vet visit so I gave him smooth Lax in his wet food. As the dr.'s said to give him metamucil but he did not like it as it has an orange taste. Long story short he's now reg. but I think I may have given him too much!! He now leaks every now and again brownish liquid. Should I be concerned??
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 7:75

My cat seemed to have had a stomachache, he wouldn’t eat and was a bit dehydrated. Took him to the vet, they can’t find anything wrong with him, but they gave him 2 shots and a laxative incase his constipated. He’s more happy now and wants to hunt birds, but he’s appetite is still not fully back and he hasn’t poop in 2 days... idk what it could be
Adorable cat! How he talks all the time, he loves doctor and doc loves the kitty
Thanks for watching!
My cat has a lump on her belly under her skin, pulled hair back and it looks like a big pimple. Not leaking, seems solid, local vet said they get these when they get older. And she is Old, 13/14 yrs. I know it's hard to tell over a phone, but does that sound right.? Thank You.
my cat as pooped only a 2 inch poop in the last week , im suspecting amlodipine(hbp medication) is the cause of constipation , could this be the cause ?
Ty
Welcome
Rescued a stray cat that had been laying on the ground close to my home for 2 days in a row. Extremely docile, clearly malnourished, but swollen stomach. Medium tenderness, no bumps and no sign of pain/discomfort. Behaving quite weird as in will stay wherever you lay her, won’t move and has late reactions to noise. The vet couldn’t tell me what she had without blood work. At the moment im selling some of my furniture to afford the vet expenses, but I don’t know if it’s serious. Other than previously mentioned, very healthy looking.
He needs a proper exam
Shame you had to sell your furniture in order to be able to afford to pay a vet. I feel for you. XoxoX I wish vets were affordable.
Bless You , I Pray All Turns Out Well.
Tnx u so much!!
You're welcome:)
My cat ate chips ahoy plastic. Like a small part... it hasn’t been the first time. He’s obsessed with chewing plastic but we always get it away from him. I have seen tiny chewed marks on the plastic of our chips ahoy only two times ever (he’ll get on our tables) and I saw it on our chips ahoy today. Should I be concerned? I wouldn’t know if he shown any signs of ill, since he’s a pretty lazy cat, he loves laying down and sleeping a lot. He hasn’t lost his appetite for sure. So I don’t know if he’s sick or not. We feed him dry food, now keeping it balanced between both wet and dry, but after research am gonna switch to more wet. He loves to eat, but I have been strict with his meals now. Please help, thank you! Also what wet foods would you recommend for good health and digestion?
that cat looks so fluffy
Murray is such a fluff ball.
My cat and Murray could be twins...even the attitude, when you have to poke on him. Otherwise, he's the sweetest baby in the world🥰
I flea treated my cat but he constantly is scratching and digging and pulled out a lot of his fur and it his whole body feels like it's just full of scabs what is going on? Any ideas? And this has affected at least three of my cats I'm wondering if it's something other than fleas they have all been flea treated
My Booger (6 year old gray tabby male) sometimes eats and gets bloated looking and firm- but then a little later he's NORMAL.. and Ive watched- he is going to the bathroom regularly.. and pees and poops normaly (he has two brothers here and they demand I do the litter box BEFORE and AFTER each use-- so I'm in there working on it a lot! :) They all play normally most of the time- but sometimes he'll be bloated and NOT wanting to play- wanting me to hold him instead. He gets stew (chicken.tuna or chicken alone) and drinks just fine.. I have a filtering fountain (stainless steel) and they all 3 drink from it regularly as well as two other glasses I have around for them - NOT close to their food dish.
Is pumpkin usually good for constipation? I also am curious if oatmeal is helpful? My cat has stools that are pebble like which is different from her usual softer, "log-like" stools. I started her on wet food again. She pees fine, has no bulge when I palpated belly.
I read that pumpkin was good for constipation but I never got my cat to eat it. I think any kind of "wet" food is probably good for it. I'm still struggling with my cat's constipation. I just know a vet would be too expensive. I'm trying to wean her off of dry food only.
Hi Dr. Jones thank you for mentioning natural options!! My cat is prone to crystals and constipation. He's a big boy weighing 17 lbs and lots of long hair. I would love to learn how to check for a loaded bladder vs. a loaded colon.. also you mentioned CBD this little guy has been on Prozac for 6 years (he's 7) because he will attack our other cat (horribly and shes way smaller than him) if he's not on it. Have you found that some cats might be able to get off Prozac and use CBD instead? I'm always wondering if the Prozac might be contributing to his constipation and I hate having him on a RX but we have no choice. Would love to hear from you! Thanks and God Bless you for actually caring about pet's and how to treat them. It's hard to find vets like you!
I had a male prone to crystal formation and he wouldn't eat canned food, only dry. But he did drink water okay. Poor guy, every time he went in and out of the box he was telling me he needed help.
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with animals with us! Your videos are amazing, have learned so much 💝
Can you do a video on vestubular disease.
Someone dumped what I expect was a 3 or 4 week old kitten near my house 3 weeks ago. She could not even walk right yet. She had all of her teeth though and her eyes were still somewhat blue. She is the most beautiful little creature. Problem is: she has the hardest time passing stool. Her anus is distended, or protruding. Her stool is very hard and I have to help her push it out which is very uncomfortable for both of us.
Times being what they are now, I called around for a vet appt 3 weeks ago when she showed up, soonest one I could get was a month away, still a week away as of writing this. They are all booked up and half are not even accepting new animals.
She does not drink water. At all. So I've been adding water and pumpkin to some moist kitten food. I fed her the powdered milk stuff at first. A friend gave me some cat laxative which made her "leak" all over the kitchen for 3 days straight. What a mess. I can't seem to get a happy medium.
I've been doing the best I can with her. She acts like an energetic, playful kitten most of the time. Except when it's time for her to go. I've been trying everything. Today was particularly bad. I am going to really ration the amount of food she has a each meal now, even more that I already was. Hopefully she makes it to the vet appointment next Thursday without something going wrong. I love that little thing and my other cat Cliff loves her too.
Anyway, the reason I am posting this is because I will come back and update it when this situation is remedied. I haven't been able to find much info online that pertains to this situation, so hopefully this can help someone in the future.
Thanks for this video i am going to keep an eye on my cat closely but i think he is just constipated because i felt around the bladder area and nothing hard but still keeping a close eye on him but thank you so much to this video
Welcome
Chia seeds. Castor oil. Sometimes even beans (my cat likes beans) lol She is 20 and healthy
I never get to see my cat’s stool- as she tends to take it outside. However- her behind is sticking out. Literally. She has been diagnosed with a Urinary Tract Infection. Her bloods and kidneys were fine.
She’s starting to eat again, after I gave her the antibiotics prescribed by my vet, but she is still drinking a lot of water. It’s like she just discovered water, because she never used to drink from her bowl. 🤣
I fear she may have gotten the urinary tract infection - due to drinking from contaminated water from outside.
But recently- I have discovered her butt is sticking out. 😭 ! And I can’t tell if it is a sign of constipation. It looks like it is. I’ll definitely talk to my vet about it, on Monday.
Hi Dr! I have male cat, brought him to vet and diagnosed as gastric. My cat can't poo properly (its very little or none at all). He also have some bump on his abdomen area. Looked like hernia but the doctor said its a gastric, like all the problem are because of the gastric. So, I made change to meal schedule as the doctor suggest but doesnt seem any improvement. I already brought my cat to the vet 3 times, still he hardly poo and cant move freely. Please , pleasr give me your opinion🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😣
Hi Dr. Jones, my cat slowly stopped eating two days ago. I pushed him to eat a little and drink a little water and he vomitted. I took him to the vet, and they wanted to do a number of treatments. one treatment was a barium study. My cat goes to the bathroom regularly, normally. It's very obvisou when he goes because they are big poops and a good solid consistency. He doesn't strain. However, it was only over two days that he stopped eating and pooping. He vommitted food one time becasue I pushed him to eat and then vomitted water after I pushed him to drink. The vet is giving him an enima, keeping him for the day, he's going to give him fluids and other things. I only declined the barium study because the same doctor told me that my other cat had an enlarged heart and sold me all these tests and my cat was fine, $800.00 later. I want to hold off on the barium study, until I see how everything else goes. I'm sorry, I have not had the most honest encounters with vets. What do you think that I wanted to hold of on the barium study? Also, he is on perscription diet (hills i/d) and got his hands on regular food that I feed the other cats.
Murray DID NOT agree to this 🤣
My cat isn't straining at all . She's an older cat who's never had a UTI or blockage before. I make it a point to give her fresh water daily. The issue is, she's not going to the cleaned out litter box. But she's still eating and drinking, but she's licking her backside that looks fine to me. 😔
Is it safe to use a glycerin suppositories on your cat?
Hello doc. My cat is now have a catheter. And some pinkish fluid is coming out but when he pee its color yellowish. Also my cat is always walking inside the house. Does the catheter cause the bleeding. Hope i get answer from you thanks.....
What do we do
My cat still eats a lot and is still plays a lot. But his upper stomach is hard and big.
"show us your bladder Murray" 🤣
My kitty has the opposite problem, loose bowels all the time. I've taken her to the vet and they can't find anything wrong with her. No parasites, the blood work didn't find anything either. They suggested antibiotics and we did that for the prescribed 7 days. I wonder if cats can get ibs? I have tried prescribed food and the only food that helped was a combination of home cooked chicken breast and Hills Science Diet for older cats. The Hills food is a hairball formula and I would think that the fiber would make it worse. Also, I have a hard time getting her to eat the chicken. I'm out of ideas on how to handle this.
Yes, then often get IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) which can cause chronic diarrhea. 1. need a simple, primary animal protein diet. 2. Good quality probiotic 3. Consider adding in tryphtophan for IBD.
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you sir! I need all the help I can get! I appreciate your channel.
Hey doc my cat is vomiting and not eating ...only drinking water i went to vet he suggested cefpet antibiotics and some appetite enhancer and ors ...still he isn't eating should i feed him forcefully ?
My cat is currently dealing with a UTI .. giving him supplements and some vinegar.. seems to be doing a little better… peeing more less bloody… but now I see he hasn’t pooped in like 2 whole days I wanna say… is this normal?? Should I give him pumpkin?? Please help
He is acting normal, eating normal. Switched to wet food . Was on a dry only diet which i see now is the problem. But now his is not pooping.. he doesn’t meow in pain or is taking naps normal .. am I over worrying?
Don't wait if it seems urinary in nature! Just lost my 3yr old tabby to urinary blockage leading to kidney failure in a mere 72 hours!
The cat literally could’ve just been on camera for the palpation segment of the video. Seemed to be a little overstimulated by the point they needed to be calm and compliant. Otherwise a decent video and helpful knowing about what to look for.
my male cat had to catheter and castrated 4 days ago and on the first night back home, he did pooped and peed, which was great but after that he didn't poop but only peed small quantity but frequently.
i am worried thinking maybe he is only in pain to poop after the surgery or i really, really need to visit the vet?
Have a feral cat at a colony. She was hit by a car, years ago. She has a dead tail. Lately she has had dried poop stuck in her butt! Yesterday it looked like a lump the side of a peach, on her side. She kept trying to poop, and couldn’t. I tried to catch her, and couldn’t. Is the lump sticking out, her Colon?
How long it too long for a bowel movement? Because I have a cat that hasn't pooped in 5 days! (his last poop 5 days ago was very dry) he's eating relatively well hasn't thrown up he does urinate at normal intervals but he just hasn't pooped at all. By the way I've given him a little bit of 100% pumpkin from a can and nothing but moist food with warm water. My vet says there's probably nothing to worry about but I'm still worried.. Lol
any advice? thanks., 👍
BTW.. I took him to the vet for something else several days ago and they said give it another day or two which is 7 days is that too much?
Heyyy my cat's anus was red a few days back and she had diarrhea...so I msged the vet and he prescribed a cream for the inflammation which has gone now ...but my cat hasn't pooped since 4 days she's eatin well urinating too we are also giving her lots of water and probiotic too ...my vet told that it's nothing to worry. But I m still worried ...same like you
Hi doc Im currently using miralax on the 4tg day for my kitten. Is it normal that he alwYs pees and is quite bloated? Im so worried...

I hear you and the vet truly is.
I'm having the same problem with my cat. She was brought up on nothing but dry food and refuses to eat can food. I've purchased numerous brands of canned food but she just won't eat it. Her stool was very dark and extremely hard. She still isn't completely better but I started giving her some of the canned food she tolerated a little. She'd nibble just a little then look up to me for the dry food. I won't give it to her. I just let her go hungry for 4 or 5 hours then I give in and give her what she wants. Her stool is still hard but it has turned brown and more litter sticks to it where at first very little litter stuck to it. I know if I take her to the vet it will be hundreds of dollars, if I'm lucky. I don't know if any of this helps but it sounds like you feed your cat only dry food. It's hard to get them off of it once they're hooked on it. I've read about spraying water on the dry food but haven't tried it. I bought some moist treats today and she ate it a little. She was find eating just dry food all her life but now she's 13-14 years old and now she's suffering from constipation. Don't know if any of this helps
kitten has an abcess to bust is it ok if i wash him? what can i wash him with if i can wash him?
Hi, my cat has a giant piece of poop behind the spyncter that he can't pass. Any ideas how to make it move? I have tried massagers on him, vitamin e oil, lubricant or vaseline massaging around butthole but that piece needs to be made/sqooshed into a smaller piece. Any lifehacks? Vethacks?
MURRY THE GURRY! You done good buddy 👍
my cat sit in the pot for pooping and struggle to poop and when she came out to pot i watched that the pot and the place where the cat was sitting was empty my cat repeats this for 5 times but can't poop
Hello, my cat dont like to eat or drink water.. he also have a feve and his 2 days constipated.. And i dont know what to do.. Any advice please.. Theres no vet. In our place.
My male cat was diagnosed with megacolon, one older vet had no solution and it cost $400 to get him back to normal, like 2wks later same problem went to diff vet $600 but they had a solution so far it has worked, but it has been over a year and I needed my cats med rx refilled he's doing good but needs this the rest of his life they want to see him b4 refilling this is a hassle for me I don't live close to vet, plus it's like $45 for "check up" to do refill. I'm not a rich person just wish they would have just called in the refill it's $55 but does last 3mo.
How is your cat now? I have a ten year old male cat who is hospitalized and having his fourth deobstipation. He has been put on medications, prescription food, sub q fluids. Every time he is hospitalized they do the enemas and then end up needing to deobstipate. They finally gave me the contact information for the couple vets in our area that do the subtotal colectomy.
@@PersistentPam he is doing good. They told me I couldn't let him outside and to put him on the special food. But he loves outside so he goes in and out and did not like the food. I do have to buy a better brand for his med bc he knows it's in there and wont eat good. Hope yours gets better I wasn't given the surgery option I kinda wish I had. Prayers for you and your boy.💙
Murray is not happy.
Utimate feline supplement got here now Apple seventeen in a few days doing well I bought gelatin cats I give him like that! The other cats Almondmeal Pecanpie doing better too. It helps Apple with lower urinary diease.
THAT CAT IS BEAUTIFUL
Looks like Murry's getting a little pissed at the good Doctor! Thanks for the good information!
