Sybil went to the vet

[silver_chipmunk]

It turned out she was badly constipated and they gave her an enema. Also did bloodwork and x-rays. Very expensive. But she seems much better.

Oldest Brother came and joined me at work afterward an after work we met up with mashfanficchick, her mother, and Mandy for carvel. Then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Mets playoff game with dinner. *sigh* The Mets lost, but we had a good time.

Bed now, very late.

Gratitude List:

1. Oldest Brother.

2. Friends.

3. My credit card.

4. Carvel.

5. Work went well.

6. Sybil is OK.

My vet told me whenever my cats seem a little constipated to add ONE drop of liquid glycerine to their food. You should be able to get it a pharmacy. It is what human antic constipation suppositories contain - to put not too finer point on it - the glycerine lubricates the passage.

Handy to know, thanks.

cats get constipated for all kinds of reasons - make sure Spyder drinks enough and go easy on the kibble. If you're feeding Spyder a special diet, it isn't a bad idea to change it for a day or two - we get constipated if we eat the same thing all the time, so do cats.

Thanks for the tips. It's Sybil who was constipated, I think I will change her food.

Since I put Minnie on Purina One the effect i good; it has bifidus in it, like live yogurt

If Sybil has any more trouble I'll give it a try, thanks.
