Thank you for the advice. I have not been using bowl's because I know they can obstruct his whiskers. But even using plates he will not eat and rather screams at me to syringe feed him every 2 hours! I am happy he is doing better, but he is a very needy cat. Won't sleep unless he's next to me as well..
Hi H hm12 and a very warm welcome to the forum !
Small pebbles are a textbook symptom of constipation.
IF he were here, I could do (either/both)
Meantime, I would also be presenting tiny quantities of wet foods on a small plate (better than bowls) to entice his return to normal eating, feeding himself.
- add some plain pumpkin/squash to the liquified food he's getting by syringe. Many cats are no 'fans' of pumpkin BUT, if it's introduced in a tiny quantity and that amount gradually increased over a couple of weeks until his stool becomes 'normal (segmented,sausage--shaped like), it's generally accepted
- add a small quantity of Miralax [without pumpkin, 1/4tsp/day ==== with pumpkin,1/8tsp/day] to the liquified syringed food until the stool normalizes
And, meantime.............we'd love to see more pictures!!!
