BeginnerCat Owner
My caveat of course is I’m no substitute for a professional. I had a mystery cat…never could get a good diagnosis and she was also a very picky eater (she would just lick the gravy off wet food). For the constipation PEG powder (miralax, restorlax) were miracles. We tried so hard to give her the foods the vets suggested – she was ok with the dry but never ate quite as much as she should & wasn’t into the wet, other than the gravy. She loved treats & I would boil chicken and give her the cooked chicken & broth sometimes but that didn’t have the proper nutrients so it was more of a treat. In hindsight I wonder if I should have just given her whatever cat food she would eat to get the nutrients, along with the laxative, as we never could keep her at a proper weight. The only other suggestion I have is try some of the creamy treats – some (like Catit) have taurine added so have some essentials and can be a good addition to their food or a few times a day treat.
