    Jasper update (10-13-07)

    His appetite is wonderful!

    His behavior is back to normal.

    No more congestion or sneezing.

    I have been using Metamucil on his food to try to tighten up the poops.

    Today, I allowed him to go the whole day without the diaper (I needed to know if he would make the litter box). Well, he didn't. He did his poop on the bed right in the same spot as always. (thank goodness for the plastic sheet covering the bed). There was a formed poop in the middle of a mush puddle. So I think the fiber is helping, but not enough. He simply would not use the bed if he was feeling 100%.

    So, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

    I need to update the vet, but when I called tonight I got some dim-wit and decided if she couldn't even get my NAME correct after 7 tries, she would NEVER be able to relay a proper message about Jasper. I'll call tomorrow.

    3 out of 4 - Now something to "firm" things up, and he will be a happy boy.

    And prayers that the 'thickening' is IBS and not something nastier.

    Jen, I'm glad to hear that things are starting to improve. I hope that his stools will become firmer and that he'll learn to use the litterbox again. He'll continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers.

    I would have never thought of giving a cat Metamucil! I am so glad you finally seem to have hit on a solution that works. I know he will feel better at not having to wear those cute diapers.

    YIPPEE 3 out of 3!!

    Tonight, Jasper pooped IN the litter box and it was 95% solid!

    He did act like he wanted to do it on the bed (brat). But he didn;t and that is the important part.

    WOO HOO!!!

    Relapse?

    In an attempt to narrow down WHICH meds are working and which aren't, I did NOT give Jasper the Endosorb last night. MISTAKE!

    Found diarrhea on the floor in the morning. Maybe Jasper, maybe not....can't be sure.

    BUT........After breakfast he did his usual poop ON THE BED. It was a solid poop but had the mushy stuff too. And the fact that he has not had an accident for a few days, and now he has had one, tell s me something. I gave him the Endosorb this morning. We shall see what happens.

    Sounds like the endosorb must really be helping. What is it exactly?

    It is a pill, for diarrhea. That is all I know. Kimlovescats ALWAYS recommends it.
