After 2 yrs. Kitty's Rectal Prolapse back

Hi Simone, Kadwa and everyone -

The poor kitty that I adopted two years ago that had an awful prolapsed rectum and incontinent diarrhea has his prolpased rectum back again unfortunately.

Since I have two cats now, it it harder to monitor the litter and this cat, Jules, has probably had an issue with constipation for a while. I noticed skinny hard stools in the litter for a while or sometimes just tiny balls. He's had a home prepared diet with raw meat and cooked vegetables like the other cat. (I should have probably given him more herbs to rebuild his rectal tissue. After I'd gotten rid of the parasites he'd also had the last time, I pretty much only gave him a home prepared grain free diet which in hindsight, should have had more fiber.)

However, about Wednesday last week I noticed him trying to have a bowel movement and he wasn't able to. I consulted Homeopathic Care for Cats and Dogs and gave him Nux Vomica 6c. He had two bowel movements half solid and half liquid outside the litter box. Then his anus started bothering him and he started to constantly lick it. It got redder and more inflamed. At first I thought the Nux helped him have a bowel movement and that the red swollen anus was a sign he needed another dose. I gave him 3 doses during which his anus seemed to be getting better as he wasn't licking it as much.

Then I saw him again in the litter trying to have a bowel movement and this time he was unsuccessful. He jumped out of the litter and started running during which he ejected yellow diarrhea on the floor in the next room.

It was almost deja vu all over again. I immediately realized he needed Arsenicum Album. I gave him a dose of 30C only 3 hours after the last Nux dose. I papered the bathroom and put him in there with some water and his litter and towels for him to sleep on. While sleeping or lying down on one of the towels in the late AM he had more diarrhea. I took it as
a proving. I fasted him on chicken broth; gave him Slippery Elm and some diluted Goldenseal and water. He made it through the night without soiling his towel but his anus was getting very swollen and he was excreting bloody mucous. After 24 hours his anus was worse and he was making unsuccessful attempts to have a stool again. I gave him another dose. He'd first try in the box and then jump out and try on the papers. Only a little drop or two of dark brown pastey bloody liquid - not more than 1/2 a small spoonful.

Next I searched for prolapsed rectum and read the description of Hamamelis on this site and thought that described him better than Ars. Alb since it especially talked about the straining and unsuccessful bowel movements and inflamed rectum. So 12 hours after the last dose of Ars. Alb I gave him one dose of 30 C of Hamamelis and he just seems to be getting worse. Diarrhea is now also leaking out along with the bloody mucous. He isn't dehydrated and he is in good spirits except his anus hurts and he acts like he needs to go.

I wonder if I should bring him to the vet for an enema or will the allopathic vet just make things worse?

Please Help. I messed up.

I guess I shouldn't have tried giving solid foods yet.

Maybe I should have been more patient with Ars Alb. (Sulpher was the other remedy I was thinking about.)

He definitely has a messed up digestive tract that didn't fully heal the last time. He's only had about a tablespoon and a half of bland food. I think he's either afraid to have a stool or it hurts him too much or he doesn't need to go but just feels like he does or all three.

I'm at my wits end.

[After an hour and a half]

I just checked on him and the discharge has slowed down a bit. He's resting. His anus doesn't seem to be getting any worse. He hasn't tried to use the litter so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe the reaction to the Hamamelis was a proving.

I guess I won't worry about food. He can have fortified broth for a few days to give his anus a chance to heal. Cats in the wild go for days up to a week without eating and people go on 40 day water fasts.

Still, I'd like feedback.
---------------
Several hours have passed and he's had some pasty dark stool around the litter box a little while ago.

I called a Naturopath, Dr. Robert Morse, (His YouTube channel is "Robert Morse N.D.") and his staff recommended some herbs to restore prolapses, tissue and bones which I was told would take a while to work. I made a tea of something similar I had already and gave him a half dropper full. I also started giving him a green drink since Alfalfa juice is one of the main ingredients in the rebuilding formula of Dr. Morse's.
I decided not to give him any solids for supper because I don't want his bowels to have to empty so much until his rectum heals. It is still bloody and about the same as before.

Should I give him another dose of Hamamelis 30 C, wait or do something else?

I don't want to take him to the vet because they try to manually push it back inside which sounds like it would make it worse.

Please advise.
Thanks,

Emily

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please give the following remedies one by one.

Sulphur 30
Podophyllum 30
Aloe 30

Please give the remedy twice a day for 3 days and wait for a couple of days. Start with the next remedy on need.
