Did you know that constipation can be a common occurrence in cats? If your cat is having trouble pooping or you have noticed that the poop is hard, dark in color, small little clumps all over the litterbox, or you’ve seen your cat straining to go then she could be constipated. If this is the case, call your vet to ask for advice or schedule an in office visit. Cats should have one to two bowl movements a day. If your cat goes for a day or two without any poop in the littler box then notify your vet. Additional signs of constipation often include mucous or blood covered stools, loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and even lack of self grooming. Possible reasons for constipation may be anything from low fiber in the diet to excessive grooming that causes numerous hairballs. Consult with your vet Washington DC regarding treatment for your cat.
