That's the thing, is I don't think he ate the cat poop because there didn't seem to be any disturbed. His face was covered in the litter when I caught him and grabbed him out of there. I've already removed the litter box from the cabinet, and instead put the box on top of the cabinet because he can't reach that high, then I put one of his potty pads inside instead. I'm thinking he was trying to imitate his kitty friend Lucy, so if he wants to go in there for potty he's free to do so now :-)
I don't know if he consumed any of the litter or not, but something in there made him sick. The vet was saying the problem with them even getting a little bit, is it becomes like cement and actually adheres to the walls of the intestines instead of moving through. That's why the laxative, so if he goes more, it has a better chance of coming out the more he goes. If that does not improve the next step is to feed him natural husk, which actually binds to the particles and moves them out. I never knew about this but it is really good to know. I'm just so thankful I have a wonderful loving vet that cares as much about our Gizmo as we do.
The good news from the vet was other than this, he's super healthy now and weighs 7lbs 2 Ozs !!!!! And he's not overweight and perfect BMI :-) its so amazing the poor little just over 1 lb pup I rescued is now so big and healthy, other then getting into the darn kitty box. |
