FortiFlora probiotics have worked wonders to keep my cat regular. They love it. I just sprinkle the powder on their dry kibble and they gobble it up.

I actually used a small amount of Miralax (proportionate to the cat's size, not a human sized portion) and put it in my cat's food. It helped her. She eats wet food, but you could moisten the cat's dry food and try that.

I'm sorry your kitty is having issues! We've dealt with this for a few years now with our 13-year-old male cat. After enduring the awfulness of an enema (for all involved, both cat and humans!), our vet had us start giving Miralax when this problem arises. You might ask your vet about it. It's an as-needed thing, not daily forever. Coupled with a higher fiber dry food, things seem to be working out well (so to speak) most of the time.
I hope your vet comes up with a good diagnosis and viable solution. Good luck!
(Our Rx food is Science Diet W/D)

Karo syrup, just a small spoonful mixed in food. This is what my vet had me give my cat.

We have had many felines over the decades. As many as 13 Indoor Only for all long, long time. Our oldest now is 20, and none of ours have lived less than till 14 years old.
We learned 25 years ago how to best hydrate our furry ones with the bag and syringes of IV Fluids. Most of our cats problems, as they age, were connected to kidney issues. We made sure as soon as their Creatinine and BUN blood levels were going the wrong way, we started giving them IV Fluids, as needed, to keep them well hydrated.
We also learned to make sure, as they got older, to make sure to feed them, not just the dry foods. We feed then the canned foods that contained more fluid levels. When any of them appeared to "strain" in the litter box, we would put them in a separate room while they ate only canned food. This, and adding IV Fluids, always made this issue better.
Wish Chloe well and this gets easier for her. It is always hard to watch our furry ones, as they get older, to have medical issues. My best to you also.

I have a cat with a tendency towards constipation. He also tends to do it outside the litter box. He had to have the enema once which worked great at the time. Mine do get canned food every night and I just sprinklie some Miralax on it and mix it in for him which helps. Not sure how well it would work on dry food. Maybe if you just sprayed a little water on the dry food so it will stick to it.
