Your cat's recent constipation and the introduction of Laxapet gel can be worrying, but some patience and monitoring are key.
- Observe your cat for signs of relief or improvement.
- Ensure your cat has access to plenty of fresh water.
- Consult your vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Laxapet gel usually takes 1 to 2 days to start showing effects in relieving constipation. It’s important to continue monitoring your cat and ensure she’s well-hydrated, as dehydration can worsen constipation. If there’s no improvement after a couple of days or if your cat seems in distress, it’s best to consult a veterinarian for further advice.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
