Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to the proper care/feeding of cats.
My cat had vomitted a few times [yesterday and this am] so I took him to the vet. xrays showed a major back-up. he had a fever and the dr gave him amoxicillin. he also gave him 2 enemas but nothing happened cause he wouldn't use their litter box. the dr thought he might be able to go once he was home but all he eliminated was 3 very small semi-hard balls and urinated once. the dr said we could feed him anything and to go about our normal routine with him. well...it is 8 hrs since we bought him home and he is still lethargic and other than what i mentioned above he still hasn't pottied.
my question...should he still be allowed to eat ? my fear is that he would get more blocked. he is crying near his empty bowl and i made a soupy mix of water and canned cat food. he glommed it right up but i'm not sure if it was the right thing to do.
any help or sugggestions you care to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
