Cat with chronic constipation

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Hello
I adopted “Buddy” from the SPCA about ten years ago and I cannot remember a time when he was not constipated.

His stool is like little round stones and he has always had a little bit of blood on his bum.

I bought him a water fountain, and with encouragement he is drinking a lot more water.
He has been on a dry cat food from the vet, good stuff, about $80 for a very large bag that lasts for more than a year as now he is eating mostly wet cat food.

Problem, he eats a lot of ” Whiska’s Treats”, which I fear is not helping with the problem. How do I stop him from eating so many of them?

I also have him eat wet catfood and a lot of his meals are with gravy from Fancy Feast.

How can I help him get over this chronic constipation that I know is causing him a lot of pain?

Thank you in advance for your help.
