Took Giz to ER vet last night...*Pic added

Awww! Giz is back to lap kitty!

Laura, maybe the whole episode just cleaned her out really well, and she may not have enough food in her to move through yet.

We cat people - waiting anxiously for a poop so we can celebrate!

Pumpkin has lots of fiber and will add water to the stools sometimes making them easier to pass, but they also add more bulk. If your kitty is having problems passing stool, check with your vet before trying it or it might make things worse.

My kitty Jack was diagnosed with Megacolon 2 years ago by his regular vet. That is a disease that prevents the stool from moving through the intestine like it should, often causing blockages that have to be taken care of by enema, manual extraction, or medications, and as last resort, surgery.

Jack was refered to a specialist and was put on 2 different medications (Lactulose and Cisapride). He hasn't had to have an enema since!! Although at times he does have the very long stools, mostly when he's been inactive.

The specialist told me that hairball medicine does not solve the problem when it comes to a diagnosed Megacolon cat. And that they sometimes don't know why cats get this.

Hopefully your kitty isn't a Megacolon and just had a bout of hard stools. I hope your kitty gets better soon and has no more problems with this ever again.

I had a Lhasa Apso that was a beautiful dog.

Poor thing had some hair that had matted on her rear.

I didn't know why she was crying and trying the scoot across the -loor.

Seems like she had dried -eces on her hair - it had to be clipped and from then on? I have had a -ixation on keeping my pets rectums nice and trimmed.

Feel better, Giz.

Oh poor, beautiful Giz. I hope you're feeling a whole lot better now and your tummy doesn't bother you anymore. I'm so happy to hear that you went to Meowmie for lovies. She was very worried about you but she feels much better now that you both have had a snugglefest.

Groucho asked me to tell you to get better soon. There's a Catmobile trip being planned for the Winter Olympics and he wants you and your fursibs to join in on the fun.

Sending you lots of feel better scritchies and lovies

No poop in her box this morning but maybe it is to early.

Aww, poor girl! You know that had to hurt, trying to get it OUT!

Maybe the thought of going to the V-E-T literally scared it out of her!

Yes, she is gorgeous! And, good news about wanting Meowmie's attention again!

[Laura's Babies]

Still no poop.. I am hoping maybe she is a night time pooper?

However, she is 100% back to normal, even came running when she saw me pick up the brush to use on Boo and gave me the most pitiful "Meeew!", as in saying "Me! Me! Me! Mom!". She has moved around a lot more today and has been in my lap a lot wanting attention, brushing or just to rest, she even played with the laser light today.
