There have been times we have given them two days in a row because you can tell he is still needing them. One of the problems is that he didn't drink enough and he really started doing better drinking on his own after we got the Pet Fountain. And he showed no signs of being constipated. You know how you get to looking for "signs"? I know he will get his lactulose twice a day now even though he hates me doing it. He used to just lick it up but after getting a horrible antibiotic from the vet that made him foam from the mouth, he seems to hate the look of the syringe. I only used that antibiotic once. I can't believe they even use that stuff.
I don't even
vape at the computer (which drives me nuts) because he likes to sit by the window. I made him a little bed like thing and he spends a lot of time on it. I figure since it dehydrates us, it might him as well and there have been so many conflicting posts on how PG affects a cat.
He always looks so depressed after we get done poking him and shoving stuff down his throat. You know after writing all this, I feel like I am torturing him and wonder if I should just leave him alone. But to me that doesn't seem right because he isn't in pain and he is fine as long as we keep him hydrated (and obviously give him the lactulose)
I don't know. Are we doing him any favors or are we torturing the poor guy? Nobody likes to be poked and prodded. Yet he would die without it.
