In reply to Wolfiebonbon. Thanks for your comment Wolfiebonbon. If your cat is indoor-only, you shouldn't have to worry too much about your dog getting sick from doing this now and but you don't want to allow it to happen as overtime, it can make him sick. There are diapers you can purchase for your cat to help with the issue, assuming she will be comfortable wearing them.

In reply to Lorey Brown. What special food did you feed your cat? I have a 12 year old Manx who is starting to have a lot of issues. I love him so much and want the best for him.

In reply to Julia.

have a foster kitten with no tail. Now 5 1/2 months old. She has recently started dropping the tiny drops of poop.
Other wise she seems very normal as far as walking and using her litter box. Anyone have experience with one this age? Did it resolve in time or get worse?

My girl Thumper was part of a feral colony set of kittens that I took in to foster. After a couple of weeks we bonded too much so I became her forever home. She is a stumpy riser, and has had no issues in almost 3 years. She is classic Manx even down to the hopping instead of running, hence why she got named Thumper.

Thank you so much for sharing Opie’s story. I have adopted a little black and white Manx kitten who has the same issues with her bowels and spine. I have to make sure that she eats a special diet and has MiraLAX every day. She has bouts of severe constipation and then loose stools that just drops right out when she doesn’t even know what’s happening. She is so funny and sweet, a lovable little girl. I’m so glad I adopted her.
It’s nice to know that she will probably get a little bit better like Opie did. Did you feed Opie special food, if so what kind.
Thanks,
Julia

We had a Manx Cat with this syndrome… He was a kitten when we got him and they were going to put him down at the vets, he had a cold when we got him and he was so miserable, the vets knew he had spinal issues and thought he would not get adopted, when we seen him we had to have him…he grew up to be a big orange spotted Tabby Cat Manx looking kind of kitty…the vet said he had Spina Bifida and would have lots of health issues,. Well he was the best cat we ever had, and he did have a lot of issues…not just with his spine,.
Poor Oppie he would sometimes loose small bits of stool from his bum, this would come and go, one time we had him to the vets and asked the Dr not to push to hard on his back and of course he did and after we got Oppie back home for months he had small bits of poop that would fall from his bum…we just kept a watch on him ..slowly, slowly over time it wasnt so bad…the odd occasion it would happen. He also had a rippling in his fur on his back. like little spasms…feline hyperesthesia. The poor little guy had asthma and allergies as well as spinal issues. He lived to be 14 years old and was the best companion myself and my husband have ever had, he was a gift from the universe to us..we miss him greatly. I wish I could show you a picture of him so you could see him, through out all his issues and pain he was always a kind and loving cat and you could see in his eyes what a beautiful spirit he had.
