Snowball has been constipated for the past few days, and since he's gotten older this has been a problem for him off and on. Usually we get good results by using hairball ointment as a laxative, and this is what our vet recommends. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped at all this time, and poor Snowball seems quite uncomfortable. I called the veterinary clinic and they can't see him until tomorrow afternoon. When I asked if there was anything else we could do to make poor Snowball more comfortable, they said they needed to do x-rays and etc. first to find out what is going on, but that we could keep trying the hairball ointment if we wanted to.
I really hope he doesn't have anything seriously wrong.
