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...

I'm wondering if I should have an X-ray done in the morning? How will I know if the vaseline worked?

I'm concerned about giving her breakfast tomorrow morning and have the food intake lead to paper towel swelling more inside of her

So it's been about 3 hours since she ate her dinner and about 2 hours since she ate the paper towel

9 pm Eastern Time (New York time zone). She ate the paper towel about 1 hour after finishing diner

I have attached a photo of what she has eaten. The paper towel sheet is 11 inches by 8.5 inches ... so it's a lot that she ingested. The paper however is thin ... but I'm concerned of a blockage because of the quantity and it may absorb water inside her. She is 4 months old and weighs 4 pounds...

I'm uploading a photo now .... thanks so much for your prompt response

My kitten eats paper ... is it due to a nutritional deficiency like lack of calcium? I always aim to keep paper away from her. But I found a sheet of paper towel that fell to the floor without my awareness and she ate about a third of it: two strips on the right side and left side of the...

Yes, got some for me too! ;) Thanks for the reminder, will be going for some squirts now ...
