Overgrooming & Megacolon
I've noticed over the last couple months that Hobbes overgrooms when
his bowels are bothering him. He's a megacolon kitty who receives miralax 2x/day and cisapride 1x/day. He also gets a prednisone pill 1x every other day. I can't remember the dosage, though, because I'm away from home at the moment. The overgrooming and scratching is just unbelievable. It's almost nonstop. There are times when he doesn't do this, but it seems to go in waves. Does anybody have any experience with this? I hate to see him do this because he doesn't look comfortable. I can see the difference in him when he's not overgrooming. He looks way more relaxed. |
