I think Oksana is constipated
I was cleaning the upstairs litter earlier and Oksana got in. I heard her pee, but she sat there crouched for a good long while. I sort of thought she might have been trying to poop, but nothing happaned. Then she did the same when I came downstairs to clean the bottom boxes. Just now I saw her in the kitchen litter box, just crouching like she wanted to poop but nothing was coming out.
Is butternut squash or pumpkin the thing to give her? Their usual vet is on this week, so I may make an appointment for her on Friday, in case maybe she's got something going on.

Do you have any low-sodium canned salmon? Aztec has occasional bouts of constipation and I find the juice from a can of salmon helps (you can mix it with a bit of warm water).

No, I don't have any. I can certainly get some tomorrow. I'll have to go to Whole Foods, because I know my regular market doesn't have low sodium. Would yogurt help as well?

I doubt it would hurt, but I can't say whether it would help or not. If you know Oksana has no dairy issues, you could offer small amounts and see what happens. Plain goat yogurt can sometimes be better tolerated than cow.

I'm going to call in to the vet to see if I can get her in this evening. I woke up and found some brown watery stuff with little pellets on the bathroom floor. Then she was sitting in the litter again with just watery stuff coming out. I have to call after 7.
She's acting normally otherwise. She had breakfast, came upstairs, hung out like she does every morning. So, I'm not worried about anything other than some maybe tummy or poopy issues. Hopefully, that's all it is. I did have to mix their food last week with some Fancy Feast, because I didn't have enough until I got paid. So, I'm thinking maybe that caused something screwy in her belly.

Oskana feels better real soon. It sucks when our babies don't feel well.
