My poor kitty (10 months, 9 lbs., Domestic Shorthair) had been having troubles pooping for about a week before we were finally able to take her to the vet yesterday. Only small amounts of liquid stool had came out. She was straining while pooping, but some always came out. She was drinking and eating, but not as much as usual. We gave her some pumpkin, some digestive upsets drops from the pet store, as well as vaseline on Saturaday-Monday, it seemed to be helping the poat-straining vomiting, but not with the stool. So yesterday at 3 I brought her in to this vet (never had been, this is my first pet). The doctor felt her stomach and could feel a large stool. He said we needed to give her an enema. As far as I know they didn't give her any liquids. They only gave her a little anesthesia/sleepy stuff. After about 2 hours we came back. He said the stool was very dry and he was only able to get about 1/3 of a 5 inch long stool. He was able to form it smaller and break it into smaller pieces. They gave us laxatone and sent us on our way. They also said not to give her any food. They also didnt even bother to clean her legs off, the poor baby had poop all over her. She has been drinking and peeing well, and had passed about a grape sized amount over the course of many smaller dry pieces. She is still straining a lot when she goes and most of the time doesn't have any luck. I am very concerned about the care my kitty was given and I'm very worried about her. I feel like they wouldn't have sent her home if he didnt think it would resolve, but I don't know. No tests we done. They also didnt give us any stool softener or anything so I'm concerned about that. Shouldn't they have kept her until the entire stool was out? Please give me some insight because this is my first kitty, I've only had her 2 months. I want to help her as much as I can.
Thanks in advance!!!
