The vet must have consulted with one of her colleagues because no laxative was talked about. Seems she felt the stool was fairly normal and that lack of bowel pressure is all that he was missing. He'll be fed with some food that easy on the gastrointestinal system for a few days but it doesn't appear much else will be needed. He's got to go back in a week for a follow-up.
Well its good that he didn't get the enema in a way. Sometimes this can mess them up for a few days. Hopefully Issy will go soon of his own accord. Lots of fresh water will help to keep his system hydrated. Did your vet mention anything about laxatives such as Miralax or Lactulose? These work by drawing water into the colon which in turn keeps stools soft when cats are constipated. Something you might want to consider having on hand for the next day or two.
Positive vibes for Issy for a complete recovery.
Water isn't an issue for Izzy. He's been drinking from the running faucet for over 10 minutes now LOL
