He still is snuggling, as I turned the heat WAY up, I think it is mostly for comfort. He only does it after he has been sick and once the trembling starts. The rest of the day he was happily lounging.
I meant to ask - If he is still constipated is there anything I can give him to help move the bowels along? Mineral oil? I wasn't sure... |
Pumpkin and/or green beans are the most natural way to help his bowels. Mineral oil can be given, but I would ask your vet first bc of his other problems. Pumpkin can correct diarrhea and constipation so I always have it in the house. Lactulose is also given as a laxative and may be safer for him to take than mineral oil.
Glad he's doing better... I would def inform the vet of his large BM yesterday, with him still vomiting he may still have a partial blockage, and she may want to get an xray or something to rule out a blockage as a cause for his vomiting.
Is he vomiting solids or liquids or both? Maybe crush/cut his food up in tiny sizes and add water to make a mush to see if he can digest it better. Definitely something weird going on for the food to stay in his system that long.... Your vet may want to do a more thorough workup on him... or refer you to an internal medicine specialty...
I hope they can find out what it is... poor little guy has been through so much already in his young life... and you too! Keeping you both in my prayers....
