At-home veterinary assessment and treatment for constipated cats, with rapid escalation when emergency care is necessary.
Cat hasn’t pooped in a week Pic is her in her fresh catnip pot. ❤️ She is an indoor cat - I only bring her out in the backyard occasionally so she can roll around in her catnip. I mention this because I have checked everywhere. She simply has not pooped on a week. We’re at the emergency vet and have a very long wait ahead of us.

I’ll be stocking up on those and doing my best to make sure this doesn’t happen again. She’s only 7 years old but I am on this sub often and I have seen how many cats die too young because of kidney issues and constipation at this age. Make sure you keep a...
