Since I’m too poor for the editors choice section (lol) what’s going on with Merrick?
Also, Alec is having issues with his blockage again. He’s not in a state where he needs a vet, but I have most of the day off tomorrow, so I’m prepared to take him if need be. He threw up earlier today, just a little (unless the dog got to it before I found it), and was pretty lethargic afterwards, but could still support his weight, and recovered quickly. Again, he decided to do this after 5. What does this cat have against getting sick during normal vet hours?? Anyways, two nights ago, I notice there where no poops in the litter box, but I did clean it earlier than usual, and some times he does only poop once a day, at night. Then I forgot to clean it last night, but it does look like there is poop now. At least two “doses”. Haven’t dived in yet lol
As of right now, he’s fine, but paying a lot of attention to his tummy and butt, licking until he’s soaked himself. So long as he’s acting ok, and pooping, and not throwing up all the time, I really can’t afford to take him back to the vet. Obviously, it comes down to him needing it, I’ll make it happen, but I gave him a spoonful of coconut oil (and by that I mean I shoved it down his throat because his tummy was still upset and it was too hard, so he didn’t want to put the effort into even just lightly biting it to get it off the spoon lol), and he’s been begging for food since he started feeling better. I’ll give him a can of Sheba with some more coconut oil for dinner, and the other two he can have tomorrow for small meals. My guess is that since he’s licking his butt-type area, whatever’s in there is getting close to passing!
