Here we can get it at any human pharmacy - like Shoppers Drugmart or Walmart etc. not sure how it would be where you are. Hopefully the pumpkin works a treat and you’ll be back in the game.

Not sure where you’re located, but in Canada lactulose is actually sold at every pharmacy for a lot cheaper than at the vet. No prescription needed, and the products are exactly the same except for the packaging. (We had the pharmacist compare it for us)

We’ve tried a variety of suggested options, pumpkin, miralax, etc. but what works the best, and is a vet approved plan for him, is 3 ml (given 1 ml at a time mixed into his food) of lactulose along with about a teaspoon of pre-gelled chia seeds once a day. And when there’s a hiccup in his poop...

Oh wow - I’m sorry to hear that, sounds like it’s been a very rough time for your household. I hope the medications work and he gets better quickly now.

How long has he been on antibiotics? It can take a while for them to kick in and clear things up if the infection was bad. If you feel like something’s wrong, please follow up with the vet until you get some answers. Our experience with dental surgery was a rough one and while everything worked...

Awesome info - thank you. ❤ No other meds, clear bill of health other than the arthritis (and occasional constipation). We are new to adding hemp/cbd into our household. My only experience was years ago before it was legalized in Canada doctors could prescribe it for pain and my 70 father was...

Morning All! I've been doing the back reading on the site about CBD Oil and had a long chat with the vet over the weekend about starting Orange (15 year old Siamese, recent diagnosis with rear hip arthritis) on CBD Oil. We're going to give it a try and then go to Solensia at home injections if...

Hopefully you’re back on the right road :yess:

We have a fabric bag filled with oats/wheat/rice/flax that we bought at the local farmers market. You microwave it for a couple of minutes and it works great. I’ve put that out for him, so far no go. When I put it along the edge of his bed he just scoots to the far side and curls up over there...

If she’s not eating anything or very little then it’s definitely a call/trip to the vet. If it’s just that she won’t eat the purina - it could be a phase. Orange will always stop eating whatever food he had around a stressful time (like a vet visit). Sometimes we have to change flavours but...

I don’t have any advice for you (unhelpful I know) but I hope that things have settled down for you both and that someone with some experience in this area pops by to reply. Best wishes - keep us in the loop.

It’s been cool and rainy here for days too and we’ve had the windows open to bring in the fresh spring air so I’ve gone and closed them all up and we’ll get the oat bag nice and toasty for him to snuggle with. Thanks for the ideas that we can try right away :)

Thanks - a reminder to breathe is ALWAYS helpful. It’s easy to forget they can just have bad days too.

Hi everyone - Orange (15 yr old Siamese) didn’t eat any supper last night and today he’s been lethargic all day. He ate his breakfast like gangbusters, but at supper today he only picked at it until I sprinkled it with a little of his favourite treats crushed up. Litterbox usage has been good...

Perhaps heading over to shelter to meet the staff and the cats/kittens might be a good outing for you? They are all people that love animals and would be understanding of your grief. you’ve mentioned feeling very alone and this might be a way to open the doors to meeting others that share your...

I am so sorry, he’s at rest now and I hope you can take small comfort in that.

There's just enough room for him to go in and "around the corner" to the box so that if we are walking by he doesn't feel like we can see him ;) The mats are specifically a litter catcher mat from our local dollar store and they are a "rubbery" substance so no slipping even on the plastic tote...

Ours IS low-sided - it's just our set up that is like the picture I added. Sorry if that was confusing....I should have been more clear about that. Def need a no step in entry for tote and the litter box

We placed our low-sided box inside a large tote and then cut a door in the tote for easy access and with a litter trap mat helps to keep the mess in the tote and not on my floor. Ours is clear and the door is right at the bottom so there's no stepping in, it's also in a private area so we don't...

quick question about the litter boxes .... I know you've said that you have multiple, are they different types? For example, easy entry vs high sided etc. Also if you have multiple floors in the home are there boxes on each level? IF it's joint related and they experience pain when getting to...
