"TJ and The Dust" wrote in message ...
I think the Dust "may" be constipated. I am not sure what qualifies as constipation in cats. He basically hasn't pooped in 3 days. He is not going to the box and straining, he isn't complaining, he is eating and drinking very much so normally and he is peeing about twice a day. We had a house full of people over the turkey day holiday and that seems to be when he stopped. I also have removed the lid from his "booda-loo" litterbox so that he could in and out more comfortably. Since I have taken off the lid he has pooped, about every other day. Could the house full of people have caused a colonic traffic jam in my little man? Does he feel "exposed" in his box now? He has always been a "every other day" kinda pooper but that was on dry food only. For the past several weeks he has been eating a small can of wet a day and grazing the dry in the same quantity that he did before the wet. He is taking Norvasc for his hypertension but I went to their website and do not see that it causes constipation in people so I figured not in cats either... He is not uncomfortable at all. He is getting back to the old Dust in some ways and his irritated eye seems to be improving greatly since I STOPPED the eyedrops, per TED's recommendation. So.. am I looking at having to give the big guy a little kitty enema? I can only think of this comic, remember this? http://www.catenema.com/cat1.html . I can't imagine. LOL. Any advice? Is there something I can buy at Petsmart or one of the holistic pet centers? TJ and The Dust Mike's never had this problem (not that I've noticed), so I can't help, except by sending lots of pooping purrs Dusty's way. I had never seen that link before - that's hysterical!! ------ Krista |

HI there, maybe you could try a littleof the old fashioned
castor oil or cod liver oil, if he's still not going but if he wont lick it himself [most cats will] remembernot to squirt it down his throat, just trickle it down the side, sorry if i'm a bit late but I've only just got my comp; back.
