Paisley could use some vibes

Well, so far so good. The enema seems to have done the trick. She said that she found a *tiny* piece of something that looked like label maker tape in her poo, but nothing big enough to have blocked her. She's eating and holding her food down, so I'm going to pick her up (YAY!) and keep a close eye on her for a couple of days to make sure that everything keeps passing successfully.
She said it would take some serious gorging to be the sole cause of constipation...I just wanted to ask her if she really watched her eat or not.
I'm going to be montoring her intake a bit closer, needless to say.
Thanks for the successful enema vibes! Now we just need a few successful pooping days, and we'll be in the clear, I think.

It's hard to imagine that cute face gorging herself!
Hopefully Paisley will forgive you & be happy to be home again!
It's good to hear that the enema worked and that Paisley is home. Here are some {{{good pooping days}}} vibes for Paisley. Hugs to all from my gang.
Wow! Thats amazing. My frist day here and already I feel the love. You feline lovers really got some beautiful babies. I think I need to waite ahile to be able to place my babies on this forum. Great photo's!
I'm so glad the enema worked out for you! Pippin has had constipation issues AND has also eaten thread. His brother died of eating thread. It's always nerve wracking when they are bound up in one pipe or ther other. I'm glad Paisley is doing better!

Thanks! I think we need those vibes and hugs. We're not totally out of the woods yet. I'm cautiously optimistic at this point. The vet basically explained to me that she didn't think that there would be a further problem, but that's not a guarantee. She sent her home because there's not much sense in just observing her there, when I can observe her at home where Paisley is more comfortable. I guess it's a little unusual that Paisley was able to wait until she was plugged SOLID before vomiting up a meal. She said that most cats would have been puking much sooner and more often. After I get a few more meals in her, we'll have a better idea if all of her pipes are really working.Originally Posted by Jean44

Paisley ate a little at 3 when I brought her home, then after 4 hours of me stalking her with the pooper scooper, she pooped (a little) at 7. YAY. I'm still nervous though. Now inbetween watching Beandip pee...I get to watch Paisley poop. What a life I have.
A side note...I'd never taken any of my cats in for an enema. I didn't know what to expect...as far as the "procedure" or the cost...so anyway, it was only 7 dollars!?!?!? Of course plus 2 xrays...etc. Paisley's worth it.
Thanks...and welcome to TCS.
I know the feeling. I'm watching and waiting for Eric and Kolohe to pee.Originally Posted by beandip

It's hard on your nerves, isn't it!!Originally Posted by Jean44

Well everything seems to be working fine now...Paisley's doing great now!!
Thanks for the good "poopy" vibes.
When Bailey started having problems, and with all 3 of my cats having IBD, I finally gave up and just moved the litter box into my office. It's not the most pleasant place to have it, but I get to see who does what when.Originally Posted by beandip

I was really worried when Bailey had his enema, not necessarily about the cost (BTW, $7 sounds like a good price to me!!!), but because I've heard that some cats just don't do well when they have enemas. He was like a new cat when I got him home though . . . a little runny poop for awhile but not long and he was eating like a horse within minutes of walking in the door!
Good {{{poopy vibes}}} are still on their way to Paisley.
That's great! I just caught this thread and I was sending you really strong, good vibes in hopes everything was ok. My beloved SiSi was a wonderful Tortie by my side every day for 11 years (and Sasha's mama).
I'm glad things are good!
((((hugs)))))

I know what you mean about the litterbox.
She's still acting a little 'funny' but I think she's OK. She does have a very good appetite now. It's just that when she needs to poop, she starts hunting in my cupboards. What a lovely thought.
Thank you!Originally Posted by sashacat421

LOL ...Thanks.
I think we need that...she's still acting goofy but her appetite is fine.
So we'll see. I think she's got a little poopy paranoia...related to all the events of the week and how she's been feeling, I guess.
Poor Paisley. I think I'd be a little paranoid too after an enema and a stay at the vet's office.Originally Posted by beandip
