My cat had oral surgery last Monday

And she hasn't taken a pooh since. Should I be worried about this?

1. Are you giving her pain meds?

My friend asked the same thing about herself after surgery and it turned out to be because of the pain meds.

You could try adding a little pumpkins puree to her food.

2. She was only on pain meds for three days

But antibiotics for a week.

3. Have you called the vet?

They may recommend a laxative* or fiber (usually one of their horrible foods).

I would expect antibiotics to go the other way. Is she eating normally?

*Laxatone. Couldn’t think of the name right away. But we get good results sitting pumpkin.

4. All clear!

My daughter just informed me that my cat pinched a loaf. (We're out of town, so that's why I was worried.) So all is good! I can now relax on our vacation!

And she's eating like crazy. I think her teeth and gums must have been bothering her.

5. Oh, most excellent news! Good for kitty! Now enjoy!
