During Eye Catcher's stay, we tried our very best to take good care of the kitten despite his pooping mess. We consulted vets a few times on what food to feed him. When Eye Catcher was about to return to Katrin, we wrote this email to her telling her diet instruction that could help Eye Catcher as advised by vets, see below:
Eyecatcher is eating about 2-2.5 oz of Wellness Beef/Chicken/Salmon wet food , twice a day (So about 5 oz each day). Because of his constipation, please keep feeding him mainly wet food, and always have plenty of fresh water available. If you cannot get advice from your veterinarian right away, please buy some Metamucil (the original version with no added flavor) for him, because it will help him move his bowels without too much straining.
It would be best to consult your vet before trying this, but we have found that it helps Eyecatcher, maybe not enough though. For his morning meal, we add between 3/8 - 1/2 teaspoon (1.9 - 2.5 mL) of Metamucil, which contains a fiber supplement known as Psyllium husk. Make sure to mix it in with wet food very well, otherwise, he may not eat much of it. Also, water is very important when taking Metamucil, so once again, please have fresh water available. For the evening meal, add 3/8 teaspoon (~1.9 mL)
If the poo-poo is too watery, decrease the amount of Metamucil. If Eyecatcher is still straining a lot and takes more than an hour to finish moving his bowels, please add a little bit more Metamucil to one meal (for example, add another 1/8 teaspoon or less to his evening meal), and wait at least 2 days before deciding to add more, if necessary. When Eyecatcher goes poo-poo, you should isolate him to one area, because it can get very messy.
Please remember to have plenty of fresh water, and seek veterinary advice for other drugs and dietary changes (like a low-residue diet) that could help. Also, getting Eyecatcher to play and exercise helps as well.
Good luck.
After Katrin received the kitten back, she accused us that we starved kitten & made him lose weight, & his coat looked bad. She therefore ignored the feeding instructions we offered to her based on our vets advice, & said it was "pfffft". If she has some common sense, she should know it's hard to gain any weight when a person or an animal is sick. Each day, Eye Catcher had to strain many times to poo ("thanks" to Katrin who caused EC's anal sphincter damage), like a woman giving birth (I have videos that I could show). Regarding his coat, yes we had to trim some coat off around his anal area to make cleaning easier. Seriously, who care about appearance when one is sick? Do you tell your sick friend you're visiting in hospital that her clothing's & makeup were terrible? Health should always come before the coat/ length/volume of fur right?
She's saying on fb that it was too late when Eye Catcher was returned to her & therefore he had to be euthanized due to weight loss??? What a bullshit. According to the germany breeder who Katrin had talked to personally, Eye Catcher was euthanized because his pooping habits & some diarrhea was making the house dirty. Katrin did not want to continue taking care of him.
According to US vets, if Eye Catcher were given around at least 6 months from time of injury to the anal sphincter, the problem may resolve & EC could live a normal life. Katrin was just too self-fish to let him lose his life like that & did not want to spend any money on his vet care . Now she's blaming me to make herself look innocent & to cover up the truth. Seems like she just doesn't want to spend time on taking care of a sick kitten, but she's buying more & more new cats for her breeding program! Clearly all she cares is profit $$$$. She's only in early 30s but has to depend on selling kittens for a living. Seriously Katrin Machetanz if you're reading this, get a real job & stop exploiting kittens!
RIP Sweet kitten
