3/30 Miss Kitty AMPS 206

A little better than yesterday.

Is there something you can give a cat if they are failing to have a BM. I noticed she did not have any yesterday, but she did overnight, so I just wondering for future reference in case I need to give her something.

Re: 3/30 Miss Kitty AMPS 206 and a non-urgent question

If you're not already doing so, I'd make sure to add water to Miss Kitty's food.

Many people here use Miralax if their cat is experiencing problems with constipation. You use 1/8 of a teaspoon twice a day and can increase to as much at 1/4 of a teaspoon BID. With Miralax, you do want to add a bit more water to your cat's food. Miralax pulls water from other areas of the body into the intestine so you need to supplement with some water.

The larger question may be why Miss Kitty is having poo problems. Is it hairball season? If so, it may be more a matter of dealing with that than giving Miralax. If your cat tends to groom a great deal, a hairball remedy that doesn't contain sugar may help. Or, adding a bit of oil, butter, or even vasoline to Miss Kitty's diet may help to grease the skids, so to speak.

Thanks. I did hear her coughing this morning. I usually give her a bit of olive oil when she seems to be having hairball issues, so I'll give her a little of that.

Binksy gets Miralax daily...but the olive oil sounds like a good choice to see if it's a hairball issue.

she's almost blue!!!!!!!
