Hi everyone. I could really use some advice and/or moral support right now. I have two cats, Charlie and Babygirl. Due to a diet change they became constipated. I tried the pumpkin, adding water to food and after a few days of neither cat going I started Miralax. I also started giving them both CBD but just the last two days. For Charlie I did 1/2 teaspoon miralax 2x day. That only produced 2 small, soft bm's in the last week and a half. He seems fine, appetite good and happy spirit. Not drinking enough water though. I called the vet and she had me bring him in for fluids and gave me lactulose. Well, he threw the medicine up. And he has been hiding from me for two hours so the Lactulose is a fail. He is VERY hard to handle in terms of giving him anything orally. I like the miralax because I just put it in his food. So, I would like to know how to proceed with my Charlie! I am leaning towards sticking the miralax, pushing water and CBD. My other cat Baby girl could not tolerate the Miralax. Made her very depressed and lethargic. She does like pumpkin so I have been giving 2x tsp a day. She also is not drinking enough water. I am most concerned about her because she has only gone twice in the same time frame and they were very small, loose stools. I feel worried that she might be blocked and only a little loose manages to come out around it.. She is clearly not feeling well. She threw up this morning but ate later with no further issues. However, she has been in heat this week so that can contribute to her sad spirit. AND she has an infection in her mouth. MY POOR BABY! The vet said for now to just let her rest hoping her GI system would settle down. I have her on a heating pad a few times a day to help relax her. Anyway, I have another call in to the vet but would really love to hear feedback from you guys. I am so anxious and worried about my babies. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
