My cat is constipated for 2 days, pooping tiny pebbles. What can I do?

Question

My cat has been constipated for 2 days now. His regular food is dry but he drinks a lot of water too. He does not like wet food. He would poop but tiny bitty peebles. Unlike before that its a one big lump of poop. I just want him to get better. I am worried. Please help! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old | 15 lbs

Constipation can be a very serious condition, it can be caused by a physical blockage (foreign body like a bone) or a functional peristalsis deficiency of the intestines. In order to treat simple constipation, you should increase the fibers in the food (e.g. canned pumpkin) and can add a little mineral oil to the diet. I strongly advise taking Baloo to the vet in order to check if there is a serious condition causing the constipation first.
