Re: Does kitty have a bowel obstruction??

I understand :-) Thank you for being so concerned about animals!!! My whole life, I have been provided with cats/kittens in some shape or form. I was allergic, but I always had a special bond with a stray cat or so. That's how I got the kitty at my mom's; she was feral and had 7 kittens in our backy...

Does kitty have a bowel obstruction??

Hi, 5 days ago my kitty (7 months) ate a hair tie; the kind with no metal in it. She threw one up yesterday, but it was a different one. Today she has had 3 bouts of diarrhea already. Since we've had her, it has not been unusual for her to have diarrhea; she seems to have a sensitive stomach and we'...
