Sorry if this ends up being a little long, but I tend to be an over protective kitty momma. Jordan has a tendency to get constipated from time to time. Let me start by saying he is eating, drinking & peeing normally. On Saturday I noticed he looked a little bloated & has some gas (I only know about the gas because he insist on sleeping right next to my face). So I decided to just keep an eye on him. By Sunday he looked a little less bloated, but was irritable. He gets that way when he's constipated. I felt his tummy & he had a large hard stool. So I gave him some lactulose the vet had perscribed a couple years ago when he was sick. It worked a little, he had a small BM. By yesterday he didn't look bloated at all (OK maybe he wasn't bloated maybe he's just gained weight I'll weight him tonight to know for sure) but still had some hard stool, so I gave him a little more lactulose. I felt his tummy this morning & it was much better but there is still 1 round hard spot. I'm guessing it's just a piece of stool, but since I'm paranoid, I'm worried he may have sawllowed a sparkle ball. If it's come this far down his intestinal track will it pass? and am I just being paranoid?
EDIT: I just had a thought. It's been a while since this happend & I was trying to think what I did differntly last week. Well I was feeling tired & lazy one night (I think Thursday) & so I gave the cats a huge bowl of dry food when I normally give them wet food at night. I'm starting to wonder if that's why he's having this problem.
