Treatment of cat constipation:

1. Mild and simple constipation are suitable for enema therapy. You can use 40 to 80 ml of warm soapy water, then pour it into the intestine with an enema device, and use appropriate external abdominal pressure to treat intestinal constipation and feces, which is generally effective.

2. Give an appropriate amount of oral laxative, such as 5 to 30 grams of magnesium sulfate or 5 to 50 ml of liquid paraffin oil. Be sure to follow the doctor's instructions when using medication to avoid harming the cat's health.

3. When the cat’s constipation is severe and the above methods cannot work, you can take the cat to the hospital for surgery to remove the feces from the intestinal cavity.
