vomiting cat enema

I used Pet enema but my cat was so constipated. I needed to give him another but did not have any more. I used very slight warm water with a little bit of mineral oil. That did not work so I used a very little bit more of warm water and squeezed 3 tablets of Docsulate in the enema. That did the trick and he emptied a lot. My question is: the residual of the mineral oil - will that hurt him and if absorbed what will that do?

m looking for clue as to what might be wrong with my cat. He is a 10 year old short hair cat that stays in doors 95% of the time, and weighs 16lbs (yes, he's on a diet consisting of strictly canned food). Three days ago I took him outside on his leash and he tried to eat grass when I wasn't looking. When he got inside he didn't want dinner which is unheard of. Later he vomited a small amount of grass, which is normal for him if he ingests it.

Having never personally given a cat a barium enema, I just don't know about what you do or don't see in it (something I hope to never change!!!) :). As far as diet, is kitty eating lots of dry, and little or no wet? A healthy cat will develop these problems do to insufficient water intake, and cats got almost 90% of their liquid intake from food. So I'd advise pulling kitty off the dry, and trying to stick to wet food. You may have to experiment with brand flavor.

I have an 8 year old male cat who has had constipation issues for the past 1.5 year. At first (April 2008) vet just did enema and sent him home to try and give him pumpkin. Didn't work - he didn't like. Nov. 2008 he had another enema and put on lactalose. For a year he was fine till I went on a weekend trip and he didn't get his lactalose (he didn't let his sitter give it to him). When I got home there was cat poop on my bed and for a week he pooped on the floor.

since the enema did not work your kitty is feeling very uncomfortable right now, I am glad she is going BACK to see this Vet asap....there could be a bowel blockage, did they do an xray before the enema?

Can you be sure he doesn't have some blockage? Does he "go" at all? He could have swallowed a piece of plastic wrap or something that has gotten wrapped around his intestines. You could offer him a little mineral oil but I don't have any knowledge about giving a cat an enema. If this doesn't resolve itself today I think I would get him in to see the Vet.

If he gets checked at the Vets, they will give him another enema! That is why I thought worth a try to do the cat lax and different food that is high fiber. I went every where in the house and there was nowhere I can find that he would go other than the floor next to the litter box. Does some in and some outside it. He is capable of going upstairs and could use any of three litter boxes I have but he always does it in my home office one. As I said he is going but just round marbles daily.!

My cat is a little over a year old. She had kittens about 4 months ago. She's been in and out of heat since then, but recently she's shown no symptoms of heat. She is very hesitant to jump, and lately, she is VERY upset. She cries when you try to lift her tail and she licks that area frequently. Last night she had her butt raised and got in the "praying position". (We thought she was in labor, because we're not sure if she's pregnant or not.

I have one cat that vomits everyday. When this first happened she was on dry food and the vomiting was so bad that she was losing a large amount of weight (starving to death). Took her in to the vet couldn't find anything wrong with her so they gave her some meds to take before she ate. I took the food and soaked in water to soften it up seemed to help for awhile.

I'm 27 year old female. For 2 weeks now I have been suffering from these symptoms. Prior to this I was using Champix to help me quit smoking. I have stopped taking it 2 weeks ago, when I started noticing mucus and blood in my stoll.(Blood in stool is one of Chamix sidefects) Last week I went to see my doctor and he told me that it is not hemarroids, but I need to do some tests. He wanted me to do occult blood test and barium enema.

I have had test after test done. Ultrasounds, Cat scans, blood work, etc. They can mot seem to find out what is wrong with me. Daily, my upper and lower stomach will swell throughout the day to where I look 8 months pregnant by 6pm. I have extreme heart burn all day long. So sorry to be so graphic, but when I do “get sick” it’s yellow/orangish with little brown strings almost. Sorry! Just thought more details might help??

My cat was coughing and breathing heavy. I took her to the Vet and after they took X-Ray I was told she has to be under medication for two weeks. I started her on Clavamox 15 ML but after couple of days I noticed she vomits after each intake. I was told by the Vet to give her Metochlopramide 5 MG first and wait 20 minutes before giving her Clavamox. She is not eating food and I am giving her Garbor baby food (chicken and rice) along with Clavamox. I noticed she still vomits after each intake.

I am so very sorry about your daughter's kitty. I too have an old kitty named Hissie, that is 15 yrs. old. Hissie took very ill. Throwing up, constipated, stopped eating and just no energy at all. It all started maybe 6 wks. or so ago. It took 3 trips to the vet, 6 day stay all together at the vet's and intestional surgery. Vet ran all tests on Hissie. Everything kept coming back good. Then the vet did a barium xray and found a large dried up hairball in Hissie's intestines.

my male cat was neutered 4 days ago, every time he eats he vomits ,even water.

My dog had an enema today from the vet. Due to being constipated and vomiting. She is no longer vomiting but is leaking stool and doesn't have any energy . she is 12 years old and did eat a few almonds. any suggestions??? Thought by this eve. she would feel a little more like herself.

Nearly 2 year old neutered short hair male Indoor Only cat (we rescued as very ill 2 month old Outdoor foundling kitten when he wandered up from local Creek). Strong possibility was at least half feral due to many feral cats in our rural area. Had severe eye, ear, bronchial infections, mouth ulcers, and rampant ringworm. Negative for feline HIV or feline leukemia when tested. Spent small fortune to make well.

How can I stop my cat from vomiting? She is taking Clavamox drops and was vomiting after each use. I spoke to her Vet and was told that I should give her Metochlopramide 5 MG first and wait for 20 minutes and then give her Clavamox. She is not eating and Vet suggested to give her baby food with the Clavomox. I am doing what I was told but my cat is still vomiting.

Sounds to me like she may need at least an xray to see if there is a blockage in her intestines----This is very serious and urgent that you let the Vet do what he needs to do . Vomiting everything she eats was what caused my cat to have exploratory surgery to see if there was a blockage---thank God there wasn't but she was a very sick little girl..

Oh my gosh!! My pickiest cat, Butters, refuses any salmon flavored food. He won't even eat fresh salmon. Best thoughts for your cat. I've had my other cat, Bob, have an episode of vomiting but it cleared right up w/in a few hours and we surmised he ate a bug or something like that.

How often is normal for kitties to have upset tummies? My cat seems to vomit a few of times a month. Often twice in a day then she'll be fine for a couple of weeks and then again twice in a day. She doesn't ever act like she doesn't feel well. Just throws up and is done with it. It is not hairbally at all. Shoould I be worried?

Now, I state to my vet what I think needs to be done for Hissie. And my vet will listen to me. Our vet is super and a huge cat lover. There are vets out there, that probably would have gave up on Hiss by now. But, not our vet. And she does not keep seeing Hiss just for the money. Hiss's last 2 day stay at the vet's only cost $130.00. That was with an enema, staying for 2 days and sending Hiss home with 2 types of meds. There has been no change in Hissie's symptoms.

My cat has not eaten for 2 days and vomited the last time... since then she only drinks water and then vomits that... ive tried feeding her wet food and treats by hand but she wont take it... she was slightly overweight before and seems to be losing weight fairly quickly... im unemployed and dont have a credit card, so the thought of taking her to a vet is terrifying, even if i an find one on memorial day... any help would be greatly appreciated...

This almost always requires general anesthesia, as it is extremely painful for an awake cat. NEVER attempt to give a cat an enema at home unless instructed by your veterinarian, and NEVER use an over-the-counter Fleet phosphate enema (infant enema), which is toxic to cats. After they have been “cleaned out”, medical management begins. In the past, a high fiber diet and bulking agents such as Metamucil and fiber pills were recommended in an effort to make the cat more “regular.

I have has polyops removed before and went to see my Dr.
