Would it be possible that the paper she ingested could have led to irritation of the stomach lining and that is why her appetite is sluggish and it's just a matter of her stomach lining needing to heal?
I am thinking of ordering CBD for cats which could...
yes, the thing is that I'm vegetarian...as for PDG, I can't get it delivered in Canada and Jackson Galaxy's Happy Tummy will only be shipped on Nov. 12 so may only get it at the earliest, Nov 18.
about the baby food...what about the calcium for a kitten's growth?
Which product were you referring to?

About the raw goat kefir, she doesn't always drink it, lately she showed no interest in it ... how long can I leave...
Further to my post above, I'm reading up on what to do about appetite and I found out that liquid B12 can help.
I am taking that for myself: methylcobalamin...1 mg per 6 drops, diluted in glycerin, organic ethanol and purified water ... maybe this would not be suitable for cats due to the...
I am starting a new thread. This morning, after leaving her breakfast out for over 2 hours, my kitten Bodhi still does not want to eat. I ruled out any paper disturbances in stomach and intestines from X-rays and ultra sound--it's all clear. I realize that the problem is likely energetic. It...
When I realized that Bodhi ate 2 pieces of packing paper (photo: top left [about 1 inch by 4 inches], and smaller but still sizeable piece, bottom left), something inside told me to give her tuna water (from mercury tested tuna cans). Now, I know that tuna is not good because of high histamine...
I have wonderful news! Bodhi passed the ultrasound amazingly...this time she went through imaging fully fasted; she had gone about 16 hours without having eaten, and her stomach showed that it was completely empty. How about that? This means that Bodhi once again pulverized the paper she...
Thank you Dr. Jean from the bottom of my heart for this information ....
I know what happened. Bodhi is in my life to teach me to be heart centered and live a balanced life. When I brought her home she was experiencing separation anxiety ... I know because, now and then, at rest her breathing...
I want to take her to the emergency hospital tomorrow or better yet Monday, when more veterinarians will be on duty, and have them use the endoscope to pull out the paper stuck in her stomach instead of waiting for her to vomit it out. Would this be doable for paper like for hairballs? Or would...
We're back from the animal hospital and no obstruction has been found ... what a relief and thank goodness I have pet insurance :) However, the veterinarian reported some food or other stuff still in her stomach, she could not tell if this was leftover packing paper or not ... but Bodhi last...
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...
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...
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...
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...
