What a wild 4th of July weekend this has been so far. Thankfully Peyton is well but now I have a majorly constipated kitten staying the weekend at the vet. Vet said it feels like he swallowed a log! Hoping he will feel much better after all that mess is out
My liver shunt kitty does not do well in stressful situation and these fireworks have him very stressed out. He takes lactulose with every meal to help trap the toxins so he can poop them out, neomycin twice and day and a very small amount of lasix for ascites twice a day. With all his drooling I have had to up the amount of lactulose he gets. Last night I grab his bottle of lactulose to refill the container and it was EMPTY...now Momma is stressed!!! Unfortunately in the states lactulose is by prescription only. I had enough for him this morning and planned to call the vets office and leave them a message...apparently that option does not exist over the weekend. I didn't want to call my vets cell number over the weekend because he is off but I had no choice. I text him and asked if he could get someone to call me today while they are there and I would run pick up a Bottle or if they could call it into the pharmacy for me. Wasn't but a few minutes and I got a response from him saying he told them to leave me a bottle at the door. LOVE THEM!!! I told him he is free to change his cell number now. Lol!
So with one kitty constipated and unsure if I would be able to get him in to see a vet over the holiday weekend and Sunny having hepatic encephalopathy this Momma needs a break! The one thing I do have to be thankful for is Peyton is doing great, plus the rest of my kitty crew.
Wishes of health and happiness to all of LL...
