Default *Bowel Problems!*

Some cats only go every other day, but it sounds as if your cat isn't
one of those. Since he has long hair, I would guess he has hair balls
and that is what is backing him up. It is good that you have already
dosed him with hairball remedies. Also try Temptations for Hairball
treats. They come in a foil pouch. The cats love them and they work
really well.

Hi everyone!
I hope I am doing this correctly. I'm new here and not sure how this
works but I am very worried and need some advice? support? Or
something.

I have a 14 year old male DLH kitty named Smokie. It has been almost 2
days since he has moved his bowels. He's acting normal in every other
way. Has urinated ok, is eating, cleaning himself and playing as
normal. He has no other medical conditions that I am aware of. I gave
him some petromalt hairball remedy this evening as well as 2 finger
fulls of vasoline. I was wondering if I should be worried? Or is 2 days
not a long time?

Sorry to ramble, I am just very upset. Smokie is like my baby and I am
get upset when something like this happens.

Thanks in advance!
