Yesterday's Condo
Good morning. Just posted Apollo's AMBG 106.
This morning I once again gave him 1/4 a teaspoon of Miralax and a blob of vaseline under his nose before his AM feeding. I also found 2 poop logs in an old cardboard box I had left out for the cats to play in. I'm not 100% sure it was Apollo, but I have a gut instinct it was him. He has never pooped outside of the box before. I did read that he might be associating the litter box with pain due to constipation. Then again he may just still be constipated? I would have thought the Miralax and vaseline would have kicked in and helped him go easier by now. Maybe he has gone easier (in the cardboard box), but now won't go into his litter box due to these new behavioral issues. I'm so frustrated, I just want him to feel better.
I think at this point I will keep giving him the Miralax and vaseline and monitor him. I do still have half a syringe the vet gave me to give him if he was still constipated, but I'm not sure if I should use it now or just give it some more time.
