Hi Everyone!
I have a two (almost three) week old kitten that a friend found completely abandoned in over 100 degree weather. I’ve decided to adopt the little guy and I am totally loving it! We’ve named him Odin.
The poor guy isn’t pooping. I stimulate him before and after feeding and sometimes randomly in between feedings. He is always eager to eat and is not acting sick. He doesn’t seem to strain too much (like he’s trying to poop) while stimulating. He pee’s like race horse though. I’ve tried adding a few drops of mineral oil to his food, watering down his KMR, stimulating with all types of cloth/cotton balls. Dunked his booty in warm water and stimulating…triangle method.. thermometer tip just a about a millimeter or two in his anus (with petroleum jelly)…still no poop. After day 5 I took him to the vet. The vet said he’s a little backed up with mild constipation. He gave me some wet food with plenty of fiber and a squirted a little dose of laxatives in his mouth.
It’s been two days since the vet and STILL NO POOP!
He’s still eating great and doesn’t mind at all if you massage his belly area.
Are there any other tips or tricks I can try/ when should I take him back to the vet?
