Cat bathroom issues after X-ray & meds. Stones or constipation?

Question

Hi, can someone please give me their opinion of this? My cat is having issues using the bathroom. I got this X-ray done and she was put on medicine (orbax) and something else. She seems to still have issues but I believe she may have stones? Do you see anything? I recently had her started on hills c/d prescription food.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. There are definitely radiopaque dense gravel-like objects near the bladder and cranial to it as well. It would help to provide the x-ray where she is laying on her back as well. Multiple views on x-rays help pinpoint locations of objects if there is doubt as to where they are located. I would say that this looks to be near the bladder but not within the actual bladder itself because the same dense material can be found forward to the bladder on this x-ray, so it is likely GI tract. If you can provide a second view that would be great. It also appears that she has quite a bit of fecal material in her intestines. Is she constipated right now? If so, she may need an enema and stool softener. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
