She's fine and is still wearing her little jumper  :Luv:  :Luv:  She's eating really well and loves whatever grub you put in front of her.  I'm sure it won't be long before she gets some weight on her  :Luv:  :Luv:

Awww Peony looks so sweet :Luv:, but not sure if she is comfi with the jumper? She looks a bit grumpy ;D 

She's fine in it Pav, as soon as I put it on her, she dived into her food  :Luv:  I have to admit though, I did try it on Dyson  :evillaugh:  You would swear to god, I'd put a straight jacket on him  :rofl:  Everytime he moved, he nearly fell over, he just couldn't quite suss how to move his legs with a jumper on  :evillaugh:

don't you know that red-heads should avoid lavender?!!! Goodness me!!!
she looks lovely, good to see her growing fitter and gaining weight ...
To be honest i didnt know that, but the choice was Lavender or Navy blue, and being a little girl i thought Lavender! I am sure she doesnt mind.!!!

Quick update.  Peony is doing really well, she's so adoreable and is such a little fuss pot  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  She has finally been to the loo and no wonder it took her a while  :sick:  :sick:  She would like to give a big bunch of  :Flowers: and a big  :cuddle: to her Aunty Pav for her gorgeous new jumper, it fits her lovely and she looks oh so cute  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  She also demolished the sardines that you sent her and I think we can safely say, she loves sardines  ;)  I'll take some piccies of her later in her new jumper  :hug:  :hug:

Re Liquid Paraffin.  I heard somewhere, can't remember where and don't know if it's true, that used too regularly it can interfere with a cat's absorption of Vitamin A

I have to use Lactulose as my chemist doesn't stock Liquid Paraffin anymore, and I got the impression they were fazing it out. Vet recommend Lactulose too, it has a different colour label to mine, but it works on Molly, so that is the main thing. She wont take Katalax.

Lactulose is good, its a stool softener not laxative so a nicer reaction  :evillaugh:

As I thought, chemists don't stock Liquid Paraffin anymore,  I had an inkling but wasn't sure if I'd mixed it up with something else  :tired:  Pet shop had no De Furr em either so Lactolose it will have to be.  I did get her a cute little house bed though  :evillaugh:

Forest has never suffered from hairballs but, due to his strange anatomy, which Tan has witnessed  :rofl: he "blocks" very easily.  What a normal cat can pass, Forest would be trying to get out for days, ending up with a trip to the Vet and a very horrible job for the Vet with the smallest of fingers, but the de-furr-um has stopped all of that, so although they call it hairball past, it is not what I use it for.

Sorry. Please dont think im being patronising. Lactulose did work with my crf cat for a short while but it stopped being effective.

I don't think that, my vets used to always recommend Liquid Parrafin, not sure why they've given me Lactolose unless that's what they use now.

My vet recommended liquid parrafin and I have used it for over six months with no problems.


It depends on why constipation has occurred.

Furballls stuck in intestinal tract and constipation due to excessive water being removed from "normal" stool due to slow intestinal transit are different things.

Forest has to be kept "soft" due to his narrow pelvis and used to be on liquid paraffin but, after warnings on here about it's use, I tried De-Furr-Um hairball paste for cats and kittens and it is brilliant.  Forest has some in the morning and some in the evening and has not been constipated once since being on it and he LOVES the stuff, it is the first thing he eats when I put his food bowl down.  Maybe worth a try for little Peony and it's not too dear, I get mine from PetMeds but I have seen it in the local pet shop.

Poor thing.

I just wanted to say re constipation I have had better results with liquid parrafin.

You can get it from any pharmacy and its cheaper. Both work as stool softeners.

Lactulose is just sugary syrup. I use it loads with humans being a nurse

dose is 1/2 ml twice daily

Sorry. Please dont think im being patronising. Lactulose did work with my crf cat for a short while but it stopped being effective.

I'm going to the pet shop shortly to buy her another bed, all my hooded ones are in use at the moment.  I've put a little heated pad under her and she seems warm enough but I don't want her getting a chill bless her  :Luv:

Peony is now home, looks a definite buggar and I will have to find FooFoo's little jacket to put on her  :evillaugh:   She is very, very constipated so she's been given some Lactulose as well, and she is ultra skinny bless her.  Carol said it was awful shaving her as she could feel every bone in her body  :sick:  :sick:  I think she's going to feel better for it now, and hopefully she'll put some weight on and have a happy future  :Luv:  :Luv:  Everyone in the vets thought she was gorgeous and even with no fur, she is a definite babe  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

Peony is now shaved and Carol said she looks a "buggar"  :evillaugh:  She has been spayed already which is good news and I'll be picking her up about 2 o'clock  :Luv:  Peony is quite an old cat apparently, she is over 10 and only has 5 teeth left bless her, so they've removed some of the tartar but Carol said she would have liked a bit more time on her but because of her age, they didn't want to be topping up her anaesthetic.

This gorgeous little girl is now in the vets, Carol said she'll try and keep as much fur on her as she can but it's possibly a total shave  :-:  One things for sure, she'll feel a lot more comfortable once she's been done  :Luv:
