Have had a nightmare few days, my cat - Coco - went missing and after hours and literally miles of searching we managed to find her late last night cowering in a burned out derelict cottage about a mile away from home. She was terrified and fought hard when I tried to pick her up to bring her home. Anyway, got her home and gave her food and water and she seemed to settle down so we went to bed for a few hours. This morning she was constantly in her dirt tray but seemed to be producing nothing and was in obvious discomfort so I rang the vet and took her straight down to the surgery. She has been in all day having x-rays and blood tests which have come back clear, but they believe that she had not toiletted in the two days she was missing and has clogged up. She has been prescribed a laxative which I am struggling to get down her because she is still very dozy and wobbly from the sedation, and I can't get her to eat or drink anything at all. So far it has all cost me just over £160 which although I can't really afford it I don't mind and have managed to pay it, but she still seems to be so poorly.
I know there is nothing any of you can do, just wanted to get it all off my chest really, will post again if there is any news.

I am pleased that Coco seems to be feeling a little bit better. It is a worry when pets aren't well isn't it?
