How to Help Your Constipated Cat: A Complete Guide for Pet Owners
Constipation is a frequent problem in cats that can leave your pet feeling uneasy, strained, and unable to relax comfortably. While occasional difficulty passing stool may not be serious, ongoing constipation can indicate underlying health problems that require attention.
Understanding the causes, symptoms, and safe remedies can help you support your cat’s digestive health and prevent future issues.
What Is Constipation in Cats?
Constipation happens when a cat struggles to pass feces or goes longer than usual between bowel movements. Normally, cats should have at least one bowel movement per day. If your cat hasn’t pooped for more than 48 hours or is straining in the litter box, it may be constipated.
Common Causes of Constipation in Cats
There are several reasons why a cat may become constipated:
Constipation can cause significant discomfort in cats and may become serious if left untreated. The good news is that with proper care, hydration, and diet adjustments, most cases can be managed effectively.
Always monitor your cat’s litter box habits—small changes can be early signs of bigger issues. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to seek advice from your veterinarian to keep your cat safe, healthy, and at ease.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
En fait, c'est le seul produit dont mon chat "Winston" ne soufre pas de problèmes cutané et perte de poils, le "Révolution plus" fait très bien le travail, merci.
