Snowball needs some good vibes

I just caught this thread - sure hope that snowball is feeling better soon and that its nothing serious
good luck at that vets and let us know what they say - we will all be thinking of snowball

I hope Snowball is feeling better soon.

AAAwww, poor Snowball... Keeping you both in my thoughts.

Lorie,

I just saw this. I am thinking good thoughts for Snowball, and I hope that an answer is forthcoming soon-

Lorie, I hope snowball gets some relief & quickly. Went through this many times with Smokey because of her CFR. Has the vet tried an enima? Not a pleasant thing, but it usually does the trick. Luckily Smokey only had to have 1, other than that a couple days of Lactulose always did the trick.

About an hour before Snowball's vet appointment we finally got some results from the hairball ointment (not Laxatone). These results were smallish and hard, so at the veterinary clinic Snowball got an enema(sp?) a bath, fluids under his skin, and an injection of meds for pain. The vet said Snowball behaved quite well during his treatment, and should be feeling much better now. I was told to give him some Laxatone every day until I saw normal looking stools two days in a row, and then give it once a week. I really hope this was the only enema(sp?) he will ever need.

Thanks for all the responses, and I'm sorry the subject of this thread was kind of gross.

Glad he's home and feeling a bit better!

Glad to hear Snowball is on the mend !

so pleased to hear he is home and doing better Lorie

heres hoping that all is fine from now on

Oh, it's not gross! I'm glad Snowball is better . This thread has been educational for me because I've not had a cat with this issue before (except George as a wee baby had to have an enema a few times) so I will be watching for this as they age.

I'm glad Snowball is feeeling a bit better

Hurray, Snowball, so glad you're feeling better! You must be so relieved, Lorie!

Lori, so glad Snowball is back and his problems are solved.

Poor Snowball - so undignified to be given an enema! But I am pleased it seems to have worked and I hope the improvement continues.

Glad Snowball is home and a bit better! He will remain in my thoughts, Lorie.

So pleased Snowball is back home with you Lorie

And don't worry it's not gross. I could have cartwheeled around the room when Sophie's poop was back to normal after she'd had an upset tummy.

I'm glad to hear Snowball is feeling better. It's not a gross topic. but just something pet owners have to discuss sometimes.
