These conditions include fecal and urinary incontinence, megaesophagus, and feline constipation. These conditions require a strong commitment to long-term caretaking with frequent frustrations on behalf of the client. Evaluation of the owner's personality types as well as the entire home situation is essential in assisting clients with their decision on how to deal with the problems.

Different approaches to dealing with these often difficult situations will be discussed.
