Reeses gets gas pretty often. Usually when it's most convenient for her


If she (is it a she? You said neutered..did you mean spay?) anyway, if your cat had a bowel movement yesterday, I wouldn't really worry unless she doesn't have another in a day or two. Just like humans, they don't always go every day. As far as I know, gas doesn't always mean constipation.

she goes at least twice a day. and yes, i meant spayed. she is climbing the walls and she never cries. im just really worried. i have had cats all my life and never seen a cat acting like this one. but thanks for your concern.

Well, she could just be having an off day in that department. But especially if she is acting differently, lethargic, keeping to herself, not doing much, or acting like she's in pain, and as I said if she doesn't do her doodie in a day or two, definately call the vet.

I would give your vet a call, if they have afterhours answering service, if not, call your local (or nonlocal, if you don't have one) and describe her symptoms and ask them what you should do.

Welcome, and let us know how it goes

the reaction from the operation should really be over by now ?

can you tell us if there are any other changes, food, etc.... anything that you can think of that might cause her to be uncomfortable.........??
