Any suggestions for my cat with his issues I already stated at length. It isnt megacolon is the best thing my vet concluded. He might have always had constipation as I adopted him at 6 y old. Previous owner have him pumpkin or squash baby food in his wet food. Pumpkin doesn't seem to work any more, I use canned if I do use.

Hello Connie,
Our cat had severe constipation, life threatening, and it completely turned around within 3 days doing the following:
For the first 3- 6 days we gave him triple/quadruple doses of Smooth BM Gold (Pet Wellbeing) which is essentially a liquid form of Triphala with bacon flavor. Then, gave him a dose 2x/day for the next couple weeks. We also used Colon Rescue by Animal Essentials at their dosage recommendations.
Fresh aloe vera gel, 1-2 Tablespoons, given via syringe into mouth, 3x/day for fiber and to increase fluid intake. Did this for 2-3 weeks.
Eliminated ALL dry foods and only have him high quality wet foods with no grains or beans (New Zealand meats). We figured out that a new food my husband started to give him, which was dry, caused the problem.
Fresh filtered water daily.
Now, he continues to eat wet foods and has normal bowel movements. We think simply using high doses of the Pet Wellbeing product and eliminating the dry food would have probably worked.
