Clare vomited a little this morning before breakfast and we now think she's got furrballs. She's had a lot of shedding the last few days and is grooming herself pretty often now. Her poo looks pretty hard. So we've started her on 1/4 t of Miralax with each meal. She's not mewing as much this morning and seems more comfortable, and hasn't vomited any more yet today. So far, so good. :roll:
Don and I do the testing together, so we've been taking it easy while he's recuperating. We haven't missed a dose though. We'll try filling in more of the later AM cycle today and get in an early PM cycle number.
As far as getting Clare on a regular eating schedule (she's been pretty much a grazer thus far), thanks to Sandy and Julie for your ideas. I don't think that Clare is really a scarfer (of course, we haven't been withholding her food that much so far) but she does typically eat about 2/3-3/4 of her meal at the outset and then leaves the rest for a bit later on. So I think the timed feeder is a good thing to try, especially in the PM. I like your trick of giving a treat at +10, Sandy. Hopefully the feeder will survive: Clare might be one of those cats who tries to figure the feeder's mechanism out -- she's pretty much into things when she's feeling good. She's our only kitty so far who likes having her treats given to her inside of the rolling egg! :lol: We'll just need to give it a try.
