It is a Long Island Cheese, a very long keeping winter squash/pumpkin. I did not notice any mold on it. I did scrub it b4 cooking. I also gave him half an amoxicillin my vet told me it causes mucus which helps with elimination. He peed well today. I had moved his litter box the utility room a week

If his lymphoma is out of remission, I would suggest talking to the vet about putting him on dexamethasone and depomedrol shots instead of prednisone pills. They are stronger and also reduce the need for pilling. They shrink lymphoma. I don't know if you were on the list and following when my

I understand. I agree that he may need another enema. But if he gets one and it works, I am saying that I think you should put him on Slippery Elm afterwards to prevent this happening again, or pumpkin. I have not tried Pumpkin for this, but hear it works well. I think the Slippery Elm
