Hi again,
Forgive me for the numerous posts about my kittens. Just being a concerned mother.
Would anyone be able to clarify the difference between what a bloated stomach looks like versus a full stomach? My kittens are eating and urinating regularly. They probably poop every other day, but many have said that this isn't a problem because they're on an all-liquid diet and have no solids to pass. However, when they DO poop, it seems rather firm. Again, as I was referring to kitten-care websites, majority of them say that the poop should be a toothpaste consistency. Others have state that it's okay for the poop to be a little firm. As long as it's not watery poop, the kittens are okay.
The thing that I'm concerned with is that my kittens could be constipated. I have come to this conclusion because of their rather firm poop and their big bellies. This is why I would like to know the difference in appearance of a bloated belly or one that is just simply full.
I went out and bought a tube of Laxatone just in case they were in fact constipated. Has anyone had any experience using this product for their kittens/cats? The instructions on the tube only list the dosage for adult cats. The employee at the pet store where I purchased the Laxatone said it should be fine for kittens to use, but in very small quantities. What would you recommend?
