You're doing the right thing by asking. It sounds like you're doing everything you can for your kitty, and I understand how worrying it can be to see them uncomfortable. Constipation in cats can occur for various reasons despite a fiber-rich diet. Sometimes, it could be due to dehydration, stress, or an underlying medical issue such as a blockage, megacolon, or even a neurologic problem affecting bowel movements.
Since your cat is already on a therapeutic diet and fiber supplement, ensure they’re also drinking plenty of water, as hydration is vital for preventing constipation. You might try adding a water fountain to encourage them to drink more or mixing a little water into their food.
Watch for signs that might indicate a more serious issue, such as vomiting, hiding, loss of appetite, or straining without producing stool. If any of these occur, it's crucial to get a vet involved quickly because it could point to a more severe problem that dietary changes alone can’t fix.
I’d recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can discuss these symptoms in more detail and guide further testing or treatment if needed.
Reoccurring constipation/obulation in cat already on c/d plus daily benifiber diet
I’m really at a loss here and hoping someone might have some advice. My cat, Whiskers, has been on a c/d diet with a bit of benefiber for months now because of his previous urinary struggles, and while that seemed to be helping, he’s started having constipation issues again. It’s been happening on and off for the past couple of weeks, and I’m so worried because he just seems uncomfortable and more lethargic than usual. I noticed today that it’s been almost two days since he’s used the litter box, and he keeps meowing while pacing around like he’s trying to tell me something’s wrong. Has anyone experienced something like this before? I just want to make sure he’s okay and comfortable.
