Hello,
returned home yesterday from the vets with my cat Smog, he’s had a fight with a dog which has resulted in two puncture wounds on either side of his head.
He has a cone on and taking anti bioitics one a day, he’s eating, drinking and sleeping fine. However normally he will only really go to toilet outside but as we can’t let him out, he is point blank refusing to go to toilet inside. He now hasn’t weed or pooed to my knowledge for 24 hours.
I have a litter tray at the back door, one upstairs and another one with soil in from outside to mimic an outdoor poo / wee.
He is getting increasingly distressed, crying non stop to get out.
Am I to just wait for him to give in and get to the point where he just has to go? Is that right ? How long will that take? Is there anything I can be doing to help or alleviate the situation. I know they are hardwired to make us feel guilty etc.
Please any advice is welcome , big or small. Thank you so much in advance.
