Cats can be very sensitive to medications, and what might be safe for one cat could be dangerous for another. A veterinarian can:
* Diagnose the cause of your cat's constipation: There could be underlying medical conditions that need to be addressed.
* Determine the appropriate laxative and dosage: Different types of laxatives are available, and the veterinarian will choose the best option for your cat's needs.
* Monitor your cat's response to the medication: Your veterinarian will want to make sure the laxative is working properly and not causing any side effects.
Please contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic immediately if you suspect your cat is constipated.
