    Wow, thank you for that information. When I get to my next vet check up I'm going to request more through testing for kidney disease.

    Thank you for telling your story. I'm so sorry your cat passed like that. I'll carry your story with me for as long as I'm a kittyparent. Thank you so so much everyone. It turns out that the vet said that the constipation was caused by the pain med (Onsior), and that the vomiting was due to...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    He's been with the vet since 9AM yesterday. They claim he's not constipated, gave him a laxative, said he's drinking normally, said he hasn't pooped but that he "for sure isn't backed up". I asked if he's thrown up with them (he usually does 2 times a day with me) and the nurse said she wasn't...

    Taking him to the vet today. I'm not sure if the doctors are there, but I'm going to beg the nurses to check him out at least. My goal is to get him an enema and then I can move him to the strict soft food diet. I understand your frustration about not letting him go to these vets again, but my...

    he really hates being syringed food, so we tried water. but when he threw up he had a pasty liquid that looked like remained of food, so his belly wasn’t entirely empty. we will give him some food in maybe 10 minutes after since it only takes 15-20 mins to absorb

    Minutes after I gave him the Miralax mixture, he threw up. It was literally maybe 5 minutes after giving it to him. I should redose him right?

    Thank you, I have given that to him now and measured the powder at that exact measure, and mixed it until fully dissolved with a bit of water, I am now set to keep an eye on him and hope for the best.

    I think we will do this today, i happen to have Miralax in my house which I bought fairly recently. I am praying that this makes him pass stool and helps him feel good as he seemed to feel when the vet had performed the enema. 1/8 of a TSP in ml or cc, this would be 0.625 CC ? Correct...

    Okay, hello this is catladyky's sister, who also takes care of our kitties with the owner of this account, trying to think what could be going on with our cat and wanted to jot some things down if anyone recognizes them it may help: 1. When our regular Vet worked us in on Friday 6/24, we had an...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    Sadly my vet is not seeing anyone for now due to the lead doctor being sick, and now I'm broke. I spent my emergency cash (about $600) on his vet visit and I got no answers, just treatment that turned out to be temporary relief. I have only $100 to spare and it sounds horrible but I'm keeping...

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    Thank you so much. I will call my vet again and ask about Restorilax or Mirlax. Since so many people are saying not to do the enema I'm at a loss for what to do. Mirlax and other similar medications can be so dangerous about dehydration, but since everyone is suggesting it I'll use it. Just to...

    Ok thank you for the advice. I have a lot to think over now.

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    Will do. Thanks for info. I only have one question. I've read that enemas and miralax can cause more dehydration in cats (in his case, his constipation stems from dehydration from what I've deduced on my own since the vets couldn't give me any answers). I've just purchased a pet-ema kit from...

    I need ways to help my cat poop as he's becoming dehydrated. Once i move him to soft food only, the constipation will end. but i need something that makes him poop. catlax is not cutting it.

    Cat help (local vet is closed due to doctors being sick)

    That's amazing information, thank you so much. Right now I have him eating the science hill food, mixed with soft food. It seems like he has some kind of stomach issue. When he has his pain medicine, he acts pretty much normal, including eating on his own (the science hill urinary food). but by...

    Thank you everyone!! Just in case future cat parents go through the same experience as my Blondie did. The regular vet I usually go to was very helpful and they looked over the other vets paperwork and they determined that he might have developed a slight ulcer on his stomach from the days of...

    He's home. He's active. He's talking again. He even ate. His belly is NORMAL size again. Final bill was $500 but worth every penny. My boy is safe again :cloud9:

    Vet said he is peeing, and has a pee pad just in case he pees on himself. I'm so lost right now....

    Update again, he's been at the vet since yesterday, he now has a fever. They said they're starting new antibiotics to see if fever comes down. His bloodwork was fine, he's pooped, his crystals are being treated. But he still has a fever. No clue why. The charges are at $430 so I hope that this...
