Did you know that cats can have occasional bouts of
constipation? For instance, cats like the American Curl can have trouble and
may be seen straining to poop, leaving small, hard clumps of poop in her litter,
etc. These can all be symptoms of constipation. If this in happening with your
dog, please call your vet and ask for advice or schedule an exam. It is normal
for cats to have one bowel movement a day. If your cat doesn’t have a bowel
movement over a day or two then you should call your vet. Signs of constipation
in American Curls can include straining to poop, hard stools, mucous or blood-covered stools, loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and
even lack of self-grooming. Causes may include a low fiber diet, dehydration,
excessive grooming that causes hairballs, etc. Talk to your vet Anderson, IN
if you think your cat is constipated.
