My beautiful little (big) tuxedo boy is not using the litter box as much as I personally think he should. He goes #1 on a regular basis, but recently he has not been going #2 regularly. I’ve been giving him hairball solution gel, making him run a lot while playing, and last week I gave him some glycerin (rectally). He went potty a day later and hasn’t gone since. That was 4 days ago now and before that it was 5 days. I’ve been adding extra water to his food as well. I have now separated him and his litter box from the other cats so that I can monitor him more. He has a vet appointment scheduled for a week from today, but I just want some advice on what I could do in the meantime to get him going naturally.
May be unrelated, but we rescued a cat (his same age) around a month ago and that’s around the time he started having massive hairballs and constipation. I’m curious if maybe he’s stressed but not showing it. He has really warmed up to the new cat because he LOVES playing and watching his adopted siblings play.
He’s also a long haired boy and I brush him daily to help with the hairballs.
Thank you in advance! Any ideas or comments are welcomed!
