Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Quiet night
I had to take Sugar to the vet yesterday. More GI trouble. It happened suddenly. Fine one minute, ate lunch and usually she goes poo then. Well, suddenly she was hiding and when I found her she was half sitting under the bed and meowing at me frantically. So, called the vet for a drop off (I hate those but of course they were full) and popped her into the carrier. The vet called about 4 and had given her a rectal (sorry, graphic to follow) and helped her get a very hard bolus out and then gave her an enema but wanted to keep her over night to make sure she "went". I haven't heard yet this morning. If she went I think she can come home,b ut if not they will take xrays. Poor girl :( Pearl was just a little off last night. Pretty clingy. I think she missed Sugar! I sure did. It's amazing what a large place a little 9 lb. cat takes up in a home. We even went to bed a bit early because it was boring :( I hope I get my little Sugar back soon. >I had to take Sugar to the vet yesterday. More GI trouble. It happened >suddenly.

I hate it when one of them is overnight at the vet's. You're right, it leaves a big hole in the house (even when you have four more). Sherry > I had to take Sugar to the vet yesterday.

LOTS of poo this morning so she can come home!!! WOOHOO! >Picking her up in a half hour. That's a relief for poor Suggie! You know, you're quite amazing. I don't think I would ever notice if a cat missed a poo. With Betty, I gave her largish litter boxes, and she liked to bury, and liked privacy when she "went", so I never had much of an idea what her schedule was like. > >Just got the word.

I > don't think I would ever notice if a cat missed a poo. WEll, not really. When the sit there all half huddled like they want to go and then look at you and meow with panic in their eyes, you pretty much know something is up. > With Betty, I gave her largish litter boxes, and she liked to bury, > and liked privacy when she "went", so I never had much of an idea what > her schedule was like. Sugar is more private than Pearl but I see them both, as their "favorite" box is in the bathroom and they often come in to do business when I am in there. Hooray for poop! I'm so glad Sugar's on the mend! We had a constipation scare with Fritzie some years back, and the vet gave us a bottle of vile-smelling laxative to give him. Three days, no go. The vet said one more day, if still no go then bring him in for an enema. Day four, we dose him and Louie takes me to work. Hubby-pie came home to find a gas meter guy come for a readin, so Louie took him to the basement...and cat nasties EVERYWHERE!!! Fritzie must have let go of a good twenty turdlings all over the cellar. I'm told that Louie flipped his turban, and had one heluva time explaining to meter guy about the laxative. Still purring for Sugar and her troubled tummy, and glad she's, um, moving along. Blessed be, Baha >Just got the word. LOTS of poo this morning so she can come home!!!

I would imagine fiber would be helpful for that, and wet food would have less fiber than dry, no? Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Vet said add benefiber but I'm getting mixed signals in research abuot adding fiber to cats diet. I think moisture is a big thing. She is eating way more canned food. I found two poops from her today. Better than I have seen . I'm really hoping wet food does it. She drinks a lot when she is eating more dry, but I am finding that dry + a lot of water doesn't seem to be the same thing as just eating wet food. > > I think I spoke too early.

True, drinking water will pass through the renal system (the kidneys), but some of the moisture in canned food will pass through the intestines and helps soften the stool.
