Hi everyone,

Well Crystal is on a mission today with her lowest ever recorded AMPS and a nice blue surf all day. However, she had a bout of constipation/vomiting last night and I think she is still a bit fragile today. Eating but not very much, no LB activity (but she did an overnight and early morning poo) She was fairly quiet earlier but seems a little livier at +10. She has been out for a wander round the garden and found a sunny spot to laze in. I am trying her on tinned LC food today as I'm not sure that her raw diet is too high in protein and not enough fat, which apparantly can cause constipation. Serryn mentioned using Coconut oil so I shall look into this. Has anyone else used this, or any other suggestions?
 
Lovely all blue cycle today!:cool:

Coconut oil can be found here in vitamin shops or the organic foods section in the food stores. You want organic virgin coconut oil. A little unsalted butter also works if she can handle dairy.

Are you using ground chicken breast? Maybe some thighs which are a bit fattier will help.m
 
Hi Wendy, I use chicken tighes without skin and bones, perhaps a little skin might be beneficial. She likes butter and usually has a little bit every morning when I have toast. We have a bio health food shop nearby so I will check out the coconut oil there. Still blue so far.
 
Ditto what everyone else said - what a fantastic day for miss Crystal!

i've seen many people mention using coconut oil or butter to help with constipation. You can't use the hairball remedies because they contain sugar, but a plain fat is a good substitute.
 
LuAnn, Peg, Suzanne and Julie, thanks for popping in and checking on Crystal. Yes, her best day ever, number wise. Off and running again this morning with a 151 at AMPS. Back to bed for a couple of hours but will check her at +2.
