Why megacolon care needs careful tracking
It is easy to lose track of when your cat last passed stool, which matters a lot with megacolon.
Stool size, consistency, and straining all give clues, but they are hard to remember accurately.
Laxatives, fiber, and diet changes need consistent timing, and missed doses can lead to setbacks.
What the tracker actually does
Bowel movement log
Record each stool with date and time so you can quickly see how many days have passed.

Note whether stool is hard, dry, small, soft, or absent to track trends over time.

Laxative & diet tracking

Vet-ready summaries

Frequently asked questions
- How often should a cat with megacolon pass stool?
- This varies by cat and treatment plan. Your vet will tell you what is normal for your cat, and the tracker helps you notice when too many days have passed.
- Can the app tell me when to give a laxative?
- No. The app only records what you give and observe. Always follow your veterinarian's specific dosing instructions.
- What stool details are useful to log?
- Note size, hardness or softness, dryness, color, and whether stool was passed at all, plus any straining, so your vet has a clear picture.
- When should I worry about constipation?
- Prolonged straining, no stool for an unusual length of time, vomiting, or distress are concerning. Contact your vet promptly if you notice these.
- Does this replace veterinary advice?
- No. This app is only for tracking and organizing notes. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for diagnosis, treatment, and any urgent concerns about your cat.
