With a Reticulated Pythons and their size custom housing is the only option. âReticsâ can grow up to 10â² in the first 18 months, so to get a 20 gallon tank or aquarium would be a waste of money. A good size tank that will house your Retic would be 72â³w x 36â³ x 36â³t.
Treating Feline Constipation. If the cat is mildly constipated, your vet may recommend a stool softener or laxative (the kind designed for cats, not humans) to get things moving. Adding fiber to the cat's food, including natural bran cereal or pumpkin, or fiber granules such as Metamucil, can also help.
Megacolon is a result of unrelieved constipation in cats. The only cure is surgery, in cats well enough to withstand such invasive procedures. x rays can also help diagnose arthritis. Arthritis can cause constipation, because it hurts the kitty to squat and hold such a position for too long. Because it hurts, kitty avoids going, and the poop builds up, becomes impacted, and (again) eventually forms a megacolon. Cosequin for cats can help with arthritis pain. Usually laxatives have to eventually be added, hair ball remedy is useless for chronic constipation and/or megacolon. Lactulose is a favorite of vets, but I hate it and don't recommend it.
