What cat food is high in fiber for cat that gets constipated?
Sep 21, 2008 by Angel | Posted in Cats
I have a cat that gets constipated often. He has been at the vet several times for it and has had enemas. I noticed that the canned food that he eats has lowered the fiber content. What canned food has a high fiber content that I can switch him to? I have 3 other cats so I prefer to first try a food that is not a prescription food.
Have you spoken to the vet about any drugs that would help him? Constipated cats can be helped greatly by one or both of the following: lactulose and cisipride (Propulsid). When an all-canned diet isn't enough, then it could be time to add one of the two laxatives. It really isn't pleasant for a cat to get constipated and get enemas, and these drugs can help very much.
Has the vet done x-rays to determine if he's got a condition called megacolon? Something you might want to mention at your next trip to the vet.

“Cancer Can’t Dancing party Like This,” 3 p.m., Downstairs
Cabaret Theatre, 20 Windsor St., Rochester. In 2008, Daniel Stolfi
was diagnosed with Piercing Non-Hodgkin’s T-Lympoblastic Lymphoma, a
form of cancer that would force aggressive chemotherapy over the
following two years of his life. Solely when his acting career was
taking off, he put it all on hold to embark on the most physically,
mentally and emotionally draining expedition of his life. Stolfi lost
his hair, his appetite, his intensity and his sex drive. The most
tragic of all, he lost his ability and his desire to leap. With
comedy at its core, this one-man show uses larger-than-life
characters to vividly take the part Stolfi’s experience. Told mercilessly
with a thrill and crave for the finer things in life, “Cancer Can’t
Cavort Like This” recalls the pain Stolfi endured during his
treatment while embracing his own providence grace — the fine art of
comedy. Info: (585) 325-4370; www.down stairscabaret.com .
Fiber diets for cats, is it all hype, or is there any actual benefits. Fiber has never officially been documented to be a necessity in any cats diet, but yet it is listed as one of the nutrients on any bag of commercial cat food. For it to be listed there must be something relatively important about having fiber in your cats food. Fiber provides no energy to your cat, however, there is a lot more to fiber than just providing energy. The fiber that you feed your cat is made up of several various compounds, but each of these compounds is considered carbohydrates. They are broken down into two groupings: soluble and insoluble. Soluble carbohydrates are those that are very easy for your cat to digest such as starch, while the insoluble forms are just the opposite, as they do not digest easily in your cat as it resists enzymatic digestion in their small intestines. The major role of fiber in your cats diet is to increase both the bulk and waters that are found in the intestines, as well as providing several other benefits. Fiber helps to shorten the intestinal transit time if your cat has a fast system, and it speeds up the transit time if your cat has a slow system. This is extremely important to your cat for several reasons. For these reasons, fiber is absolutely critical for their bowels overall health. But it provides other functions as well with the bowel process, as it can help to regulate both diarrhea as well as constipation in your cat. It helps to absorb extra water that causes diarrhea, and it also helps to hold water, preventing constipation. Some forms of fiber also break down into fatty acids in your cat intestine and this process is also extremely important as it helps to prevent harmful bacteria from overgrowing in the intestine. With fiber diets in cats, the first inclination is for an owner to be concerned about the quality of the fiber that they are providing for their pet. This is important; however, the actual rate of fermentation is much more important....
