toileting

[Erin]

i think jerry may be constipated,he hasnt been to the toilet all day hes usually gone twice by now,is there anything i should do?

[Fran]

Make sure that he is getting enough water, try adding a little to his food to encourage him to drink more. Hopefully he will have 'been' by now....

Poor Jerry, My old boy used to get constipated sometimes. Make sure he gets plenty of fluids like Fran says. Sometimes a little melted butter does the trick too.
How old is he?

.... water water and more water. Maybe even bottled water if he dislikes tap - as most cats do.
You could put a little drop (less than quarter teaspoon) of light vegetable oil (sunflower etc) in his food.

Try the occasional maybe every week/10 days meal of sardines in oil or tomato sauce. Works wonders
