My cat suffers with constipation. Shes had 2 enemas a year for the last 7years and numerous micro enemas. After the last one in January i told myself i wasnt putting her through it again. Shes 18. The anaesthetic was too much. Her arthritic back legs got worse and her coat is only now looking healthier. Shes struggled to go to the toilet the last couple of days. I gave her a micro enema myself which worked on Wednesday but shes been scrabbling at her box since and a 2nd micro enema has done nothing.
The thing that makes it so hard is shes so affectionate, shes discovered at the grand old age of 18 that tummy rubs are actually quite good! She doesnt look particularly old or unwell.
