My cat gave birth 2 weeks ago and I have noticed that she has been "gassy" lately, but this evening I noticed that it has gotten worse. I think she may be constipated. What can I do to help her? thanks
Funny enough, it may work for both. Lets say, it regulates the bowels "straightens them up".Thank you for your help. I have always been feeding her Friskies wet canned food, have been for the past 1.5 years, the lenght of time I have had her and she loves this brand. I also keep some cat kibble to munch on the side. Since she is nursing, I make sure she has 2 full cans of wet food available to her while I am away at work, along with the kibble on the side. I have been sticking with Friskies because it is affordable. She always has had several bowls of cold (ice in the summer) water available to her. I will read the label carefully on the can when I get home from work to see what the top, main ingredients are on the can. I know she is hydrated plenty, always make sure she has plenty of water. She has had 2 other litters, (promise, this is her last) and never had this problem before and I have been feeding her the same for all three pregnancies/lactating periods. I of course will continue to keep an eye on her problem, read that label for Friskies when I get home, consider a change to another wet food, at least while lactating, and the Miralax as a back up. What about a teaspoon of canned pumpkin? I read somewhere that can be used for constipation or was is diahhrea?? Can't remember which. Please advise. Thanks again.
