How long should I wait for the canned pumpkin to take effect? I laced it with SEB. I'm thinking of taking him to the emergency vet - who I don't much trust. I've had bad luck there. The vet gave him a gentle enema yesterday because I was so concerned as Fu had nearly died after getting an enema three years ago. Fu is 19 and very frail with hyperthyroidism and his intestinal cancer is probably out of remission.
I've also done fluids today; he had 100ml last night and vet said to give him 100 ml twice a day. I gave him 50 ml early this morning, thinking that it might be too soon to give more as the last dose was after midnight. I've also given him 3ml lactulose, and Laxaire. I fear I may have to go to the emergency vet. I think I'll give the second 50 ml of fluids soon. www.elephants.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Del Daniels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Saturday, July 9, 2005 2:05 pm Subject: Re: canned pumpkin for constipation > You do realize that a severely constipated cat can go into shock? > I have not read all of the posts and don't know how long since > kitty has not pooped ... can you give kitty an enema?
