A case Report on Constipation in Persian Cat

Abstract

The term "constipation" refers to the irregular or absent passage of excrement via the colon and rectum. Cat constipation can have a variety of known causes, and the clinician's ability to identify the correct etiology in each case will determine how the condition is managed. The doctor may have to decide between surgical and therapeutic approaches to such cases. Numerous factors, including the identification of an underlying cause, the colon's ability to operate, and the results of medical treatment, will affect this decision.A two-year-old male Persian cat weighing about 4 kg was presented with a clinical history of weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, decreased to absent defecation, hyporexia, small, dry feces, abdominal straining, hind-limb paresis, vocalization during defecation, vomiting, and lethargy, which were identified during the clinical examination. After confirmation of constipation by an X-ray report, the cat was treated with lactulose, simethicone, and glycerol, followed by an enema with avolac solution. After 7 days of continuous treatment, the cat was completely recovered.
