Hello,
My cat, Cappuccine (almost 10 y o, himalayan mix, less than 8 lbs) was constipated after slowing down eating, vomiting three days in a row. Didn't poop since Friday July 21. Gave her lots of water and 1/2 tsp coco oil per day. Vet on Monday. X-ray showed impacted poop. Gave her enema and recommended Miralax 1/4 tsp 4x day. Tuesday, she stopped eating, then, in afternoon, she ate ground cooked rabbit that I gave her (just rabbit) Shortly after that she pooped: good size but not all (24 hours after beginning Miralax). Ate again a couple of times that evening.
3:30 this morning, she vomited some food. Maybe about 2 inches across. 6:30 she vomited a very small amount of foam...stomach acid?
She has lost weight through it all. My poor Cappuccine is going through something.
The initial slow down of eating may be because of "possible" gum pain. she was diagnosed with resorptive lesion, and although she was scheduled for cleaning and extraction I suspect this condition is a gum/digestive issue and not a tooth issue. No idea what to do on that front either.
I am at a loss for how to care for her. She must have upset stomach, on top of poop still needing to come out and tooth/gum issue. I have managed to get some squah in her with water, a little at a time. I am very worried because I realize how fast the liver can turn to fatty liver.
Thank you for your guidance.
