Poor little Phoenix is having a very difficult time pooping. I went to a vet hospital to get some Laxatone and they wanted $17 for a tube!!! I finally went to Pet Supplies Plus and got a tube. Spent my last $10 so she can make a poo. *sigh* This motherhood thing is tough. But I love watching her grow and thrive.

I've been using cotton balls. I've gone through 4 bags of them so far. She's peeing fine. But getting her to poop is really worrying me.
I'm going to try and use the warmed up wet washcloth (it's actually a soft piece of fleece) method. I've tried submersing her bottom in a sink full of warm water while massaging her belly. Didn't work.

I called the vet this morning. She HAS to go, but can't. I've given her Laxatone in her bottle, and even put some on her tongue. I don't understand it. I put her butt in warm water again and massaged her belly. She was squealing it hurt her so much.
I THOUGHT of putting a tiny bit of olive oil in her formula. But with a kitten this young and fragile, I want to do what's right to help her get regular again. Little Phoenix Destiny has wiped me out financially.
UPDATE:
I've upped her feedings to every 2 hours because she needs the moisture. I just gave her some more bottle and she was straining so bad to go. I saw a little poo stick out of her rectum and, (brace yourself) "helped" her along by getting that first little marble out. She pooped 3 more marbles!!!!! She's now sleeping again.
I was going to add extra water in her formula, but she wouldn't be getting the nutrients she needs.
SUCCESS!!!!!! So far.

I haz a kitteh!
I have used a very small syringe of warm water to give bottle-baby kittens an enema before. Not the most dignified thing to do but it certainly helped
