😂😂at the cat, one of ours gets constipated so we give him lactulose which does the trick,it’s not as severe aa a laxative but does depend on them drinking enough to make it work. I have to syringe it down his throat and he hates it but it stop ps him ending up at the vet with an impaction 🤢🤢

Well done for being restrained! You could always sneak out and try and get some half price ones today

Mine hates being handled, so I prefer to try something hands off if I can. It's probably coincidence but it seems to have worked thankfully.Onebrokelady said:😂😂at the cat, one of ours gets constipated so we give him lactulose which does the trick,it’s not as severe aa a laxative but does depend on them drinking enough to make it work.

I wouldn’t know if my cats were constipated as they 💩 outside so well done on recognising that. It’s all glamour here 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Mine always used to as well, it's only since Christmas that she's been more reluctant to go out. She still does sometimes though, so it's not easy! The vet suggested it last time she had a meds check up, but I didn't do anything as she seemed to be going again. She had a couple of days without it, and hasn't gone outside either, so it was a reasonable guess. She's not eating though so I need to keep an eye on her and if she doesn't pick up today or tomorrow I'd better take her to the vet. She does this periodically and it's always worrying as I start wondering if we are moving towards the end (she's nearly 18) but usually she picks up again after a day or so.Sun_Addict said:I wouldn’t know if my cats were constipated as they 💩 outside so well done on recognising that.

We went swimming today, so I feel like I've had a nice workout today. We managed to crack something that little miss has been struggling with in her lessons, so that is also a good result. Little jwil was really helpful teaching her.
Not much else achieved today. I'm enjoying slow living!
Today's food:
Breakfast - hot cross bun and nectarine
Lunch - Lentil soup and easter egg
Dinner - Sausages, carrot and swede mash, peas and beetroot."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -
