[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is some history.  Ever since we adopted her from the shelter last year she has had some digestive issues.  She throws up on average once/day sometimes three or four times.  We've seen the vet, they ran tests, nothing came up.  We've gave her antibiotics and prevacid and it didn't work.  Now, she is not only throwing up, but she is not using her litter box for BMs.  Just in the past week, she had a BM on my bed 4 times and I woke up this morning to a mess in the middle of my living room.  I make sure that her box is clean so I don't know what else to do.  I love her dearly, but I cannot live like this.  She had a few incidents in the past, but this is getting ridiculous.  Any ideas anyone?[/quote]

I had this problem and vets were useless.

Most likely, she has megacolon (it's from chronic constipation that leads to the colon being extended, making it painful and difficult to pass stool).

But Miralax from your local grocery store/pharmacy.  It's an odorless and tasteless powder.  Sprinkle some on her food.  Then keep her confined for a couple of days to get her to re-learn the litter box (like to a bathroom).

Do the Miralax with each meal, just a sprinkle.  At first she might have the runs, and if so, then just adjust and give less miralax.  After a week of being confined to a bathroom with a litter box and having the miralax ease up the digestive problems, you can let her out during the evenings and then eventually let her out all day.

It's very hard to diagnose megacolon.  They have to do x-rays.  And most vets don't even think of it.[/quote]
