Can I give my cat Dulcolax for constipation with a blocked bile duct?
Hello Jay, It is really best for you to consult directly with your vet about using this medication. Your vet has all of Kit's medical records and knows exactly what is going on with him. Is he taking any medications the blocked bile duct? That would be my primary concern and not the bowels unless he is constipated. As a rule of thumb, Dulcolax is not recommended in cats as typically you cannot get a dose small enough for a cat using human medications. If he is constipated and needs a laxative you need to speak to your vet. I'm sorry we don't have enough information to be helpful.

Is my 15-lb dog's Ursodiol dosage for high liver enzymes safe?
Hello. The dose range for Ursodiol is 10-15 mg/kg every 12- 24 hours, depending on how severe the hepatobiliary disease is. This is equal to 68 - 102 mgs for a 15 pound dog. This medication has a wide range of safety, so 1/2 tablet will not be harmful to your pet. However, if Casper were to develop any adverse signs such as diarrhea, then the dose may need to be modified. Otherwise, do follow your veterinarians recommendation. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Why is my cat with hepatic lipidosis bloated and not using the litter box?
Yes, an x-ray would be good but it could be the medications. He may not be using the bathroom well because he hadn't been eating well for the few days prior. I would suggest you put him on a probiotic to help balance the GI flora and get the xray scheduled. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=111443

My cat can't pee after PU surgery, meds failed. What should I do?
It sound like you have a great vet! Some cats are very hard to manage. You may discuss with your vet using steroids or placing a catheter for several days in a row and placing Georgie on IV fluids. Cerenia is an anti-nausea medication that can help with some types of inflammation. Adequan can also be used in cats with bladder issues, though it may take several weeks to be effective.

My cat has stress colitis and won't take liquid medicine. What to do?
I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled white fish/chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Probiotics can be given as well. These type of colitis can be self limiting, but if persistent antibiotics can be given by injection as well. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
