Several months back I had to take her to the emergency vet because she was acting strange, running around howling, squatting, straining, and not producing anything. Finally she passed a long dry turd on the kitchen floor and I took that to the ER vet with us. It was decided that since she went back to normal, that was the problem..

Ok, she is doing the same thing again this evening and keeps going to the litter box and not producing anything. After that first incident, I started adding about 1/4 a teaspoon of Vaseline to her canned food treat at night about 3 to 4 times a week.. I was not sure how much to give her and for awhile that seemed to be working..

What can I give her on a regular basis and how much, to keep her stool soft that she will take willingly? This is of great concern to me just due to how I work and how long they are left here alone. ANY ideas? PLEASE....

I have looked online and didn't find much..
