Hi there,

My mothers cat has been poorley for three weeks she was consipated for two, the vet prescribed Liquid Parrafin and after three days all worked with a blast, now the cat seems to have littl balance with her back legs and is very nervous (not her usual happy self), she was never a very affectionate cat but now seems to only be content with humans, She still purrs thou??
She eats and drinks ok, but toilet uses are minimal

She is a farm cat and loves outside but she is now over at my house as it is warm, she has been here for about 8 hours and seems better but i am very concerned that her nervous system is shot

She also has liquid parrafin all over her neck messy application, she is trying to clean it off but its not moving, any suggestions would be gratly apprecited

Sorry for the long winded Q?,

Pete

How did you give the liquid paraffin dose? Its best to mix it in with her normal meal.
Its not recommended to be given directly into the mouth as being tasteless it could be aspirated and cause pneumonia.

If your cats constipation is a long term problem then a vet will prescribe some Nutrifyba which is safer for your cat than liquid paraffin.

i think i would take her back to the vets.

HI all and thanks for your responses,

I wasn't there when she was given the dose, I believe the vet prescibed it as a very last chance "Do or Die" , We have bathed the cat and she has eaten lots, she is less nervous and more lively today, but no toilet today thats 24hours now :-(

She is going back home tonight and to the vets tomorrow, hoping that he doesn't give up on her

Hey all, just to end this post, the cat is well although it took 6 months for her to fully recover, thanks for your responses
