Alani Has To Go To The Vet: Update 7/14/11 11:08pm

I noticed last night that Alani was straining while using the litter box and I thought he was maybe just a bit constipated. I was wrong he was only peeing in small amounts. I've been through this before with some of my cats so I tried not to panic. I decided to watch him and although he's eating well and acting pretty much normal he's still jumping into the litter box a lot more than usual and only peeing in very small amounts.

My vet is always booked so I called and left a voice mail with her around 1pm and her assistant called me back a little before 2pm. She's able to squeeze me in today at 3pm. I hope that it's nothing too serious. He and Blaze have been eating Chicken Soup For The Cat Lovers Soul in the Light Formula because they both need extra fiber due to having very sensitive tummies. It does have rice and few other grains like oats and barley which I'm not crazy about but they just didn't do well on grain free foods. I also had to stop giving them any canned food because they would get diarrhea and it would get all stuck to their fluffy bottoms. I know it's not a good idea to feed cats only dry food so this is most likely why Alani is having problems. I feel like a very bad kitty mom right now.

Has any one tried adding Metamucil to their cats diet? I'm going to ask my vet about this so that hopefully I can add it to their canned food and they'll then be okay with it. Please send Alani some good vibes. I'll update you about him later today. Thanks in advance.
