I have aloe vera juice inner fillet at home...is this what I can give her and if so how much and how often? She is very energetic and playful, so it does not make sense that she has low appetite... We're on our way to get her checked out....wish us luck.... thanks for your guidance, much...

or could it be an irritated stomach? If so, what could I do for that?

I switch food at every meal time, her BEAM is good except for the A, appetite. She is playing vigorously and she appears happy, tail in the air. And so even if she is eating but I keep having to stimulate her appetite, I should still get her checked for obstruction, correct? Any idea if an...

@Dr. Jean Hofve would you have flower essence product to help stimulate appetite for situation described above?

Last Friday, Bodhi ate a strip of packing paper that I failed to notice laying around in a grocery box, dimensions of the piece of paper she ingested are about 1 inch by 4 inches. The next day I gave her 1/2 tsp of vaseline and another 1/2 tsp of vaseline the following day. Since then she had 4...

And here she is, my beautiful 4-month-old Bodhi, all 4 pounds of her

Update 4: Bodhi's bowel movement yesterday still came out crumbly but I finally saw the first sign of the Vaseline...see photo below, that big clump at the bottom ... As I guessed earlier, it took 3 days for the Vaseline to finally come out She really loves to eat this stuff. Thanks Dr. Jean...

So I think what happened is that one of the pieces of paper towel got out of her stomach quickly and escaped the degradation via the stomach acids, and the rest of the paper towel pieces got "truly pulverized". This bowel movement actually has a net weight of 18 g! I gave Bodhi 1/2 tsp of...

Now, as for this morning, at around 9:00 am, she tried and tried at her litter box, but nothing came out. Then, one hour later, she tried and tried and tried and tried ... and when I went to see what she produced ... I found tiny, tiny pieces of stool, as though someone had taken the stools and...

I take back what I wrote. Later yesterday evening, I investigated further and actually went through her stools ... they were her usual stools, 5 of them, with 3 being bulkier than the other two weighing (in a clear transparent sandwich bag) 8 grams net. ... and lo and behold, there it was, an...

Update 3: Bodhi ate very well her dinner yesterday, and 2 hours later I gave her 1/2 tsp of Vaseline. She continues to have a strong appetite and had a bowel movement this morning at around 11:30 am, about 26 hours since her last bowel movement ... no sign of paper towel though. Is it possible...

Update 2: she ate 17 g of rabbit at around 2:15 pm in minutes and the rest at around 3:00 pm again in minutes (her usual intake is 35 g at lunch time), and we have been playing vigorously with a feather wand that she loves to chase after. She has slow bowel movements (BM) on average 40 hours...

Update: this morning, she had a productive bowel movement (42 hours from previous bowel movement). I played with Bodhi vigorously and then gave half her breakfast at 8:30 am (20 g of raw rabbit) and she ate it all up in minutes, went down well, and gave the other half at around 9:15 am, and that...

I will give her breakfast in a little while, half her usual amount. And if all goes well give her the other half as you, Dr. Jean, recommended. I will then wait two hours before giving her the Vaseline. As I am at my computer, she is sitting on my lap, purring.....

Good morning, Bodhi slept right by my side at the head level, when before she would sleep at leg level. Then when she felt me stirring, she laid on my chest, licking my face and purring and then resting more on my chest and she groomed herself -- it doesn't look like the purring was sign of...

so for breakfast I am to give her half her regular morning intake? and then half for lunch as well?

Thank you Dr. Jean for that reassurance...yes, I have not given her the vaseline yet, was still hoping she would throw it up ... but she is having too much fun still running around

or then again the water may help push things through--not sure best course of action at this point The thing is that it's been about 34 hours since her last bowel movement ... it may take a few days for that paper towel to come out Dr. Jean, is it okay to give a 4 month old kitten 1/2 tsp of...

Thanks Ginny ... okay paper towel doesn't have much structural integrity so not to expect any blockage ... big relief I usually add 15 ml water with her food, should I not add water at breakfast to reduce the swelling of the paper towel inside of her?

There is no sign of her going to throw up. Actually she has been very energetic, and running around. Could you please let me know when I should feed her next? Would there be any point in going to get an X-ray done and if so when would be a reasonable time to have it done? ... if she is not...
