The topic: Crummy morning

----------------------------------------------

I can’t find Angel.

And Mickey threw up.  A huge amount of food.  Right after leaving the litterbox.

Then he walked through the house, squatting and dropping little drips of very wet poop.  Typical sign of constipation.  (The little drips are all that can get around the big feces that’s waiting in the bowels, that isn’t leaving.)  It was so bad I had actually asked Brian to get the big crate down because I didn’t see me following Mickey around all day, cleaning up after him.  If he didn’t push it out today, I’d be calling the vet.

Then I saw a very small pile on the runner carpet (washable, everything in this house is washable) and I knew he’d pushed it out.  I gave him fluids (three times a week, Monday, Thursday and Saturday, until I get him back to the vet for a followup blood test), then I found another large poop in the hallway.  So, he had a lot in him, he must feel a lot better now.  And I’ve got some laundry to do.

Now to find Angel…...

Found her, under the sofa.  Wiped off Mickey’s bottom and put him back on the bed (he had been sitting on the toilet seat in my bathroom).  Now Miss Elizabeth is crying for food.  Off to feed her.



Try Red Mill Rice Bran for constipation added into wet food. Niki was SO constipated he strained and strained…now I get little turds…LOL

It took a while but now he’s working fine!

On the other hand, it gave Cody diarrhea!!

Have you gone to Catwell at the yahoogroups.com site for some good info?? I’ve learned some good stuff there, especially what kind of foods to feed that don’t have all that crap in them cats don’t need or shouldn’t eat! She recommends CostCo dry cat food, but I also feed EVO meat only, Ziwipeak lamb and Evangers…all canned. They like it and Niki needs his bran.

Also, I meant to respond waaay back when about the holistic vet. I don’t go to one, I talk on the phone. I live in VA, she lives in ME. I’ve used her for years and she is a God send…when Annie and Seren almost died after being spayed, she stayed up with my ALL night getting them well!!! 2 TIMES!!!

I don’t GO to a vet unless I have to.

She does some pro bono work and I would guess if you told her about all your cats and that you can’t afford much, she’d be willing to work with you.
