So at 9am this morning i noticed my pregnant cat was meowing alot and looking restless. I thought it may be labour starting. At 11am i noticed what must have been her waters bulging. Put her in her birthing box and at 12.40pm she gave birth to her first kitten. (so cute!)
She did everything she was supposed to do, cleaning kitten, eating the after birth and resting while the kitten feeds. At 15.15 pm she had her second kitten. This kitten was born dead, very tiny and its intestines on the outside. Why was it like this? As it was developed in every other way.

Its now 17.50 pm and mom has had something to eat and is resting/sleeping while the first kitten drinks. Mom has not stoped purring through the whole process!!

How will i know if there is any other kittens to come?? And what is the likely hood that these will be dead/deformed too??
Isn’t it taking mom a bit long to have each kitten?
I always thought they had them in one go??

Should i call a vet or does it sound like mom is doing okay?
EDT – I believe there is still another kitten in her stomach, i just felt her belly and felt a lump??

She isn’t contracting anymore. Just purring and looks tired. She seems to be looking after the first kitten well. I just hope if there is anymore they aren’t dead

Will ring vets now

This is so hard for me to talk about, but I’ve been having trouble having a bowel movement for the past 5 months now. I eat incredibly healthy, stay away from fast-foods, fried foods, and junk food in general. I eat a lot of fiber to try to make myself go to the restroom more, and drink a lot of water. I’ve tried probiotic yogurt and drinks, colon cleanses, Metamucil fiber pills, i have even had to use laxatives a few times since i hadn’t had a bowel movement in around 5 days..I am now starting these new pills that are supposed to help digestion. They aren’t doing much.
Can you help me figure out what to try to aid in bowel movements, or have you heard of any of these cases before? What do you suggest?
Thank you!

Wanna detox my body. I just feel dirty and gross. Wanna clean my whole system, stomache, intestines, kidneys…..like everything!
What are the best foods, drinks and so on to do the acheieve a good body cleanse.
Don’t wanna go buy one of those store cleanse kits….want something easy, kinda quick and not very expensive.

I was in a bad car accident two weeks ago and got whiplash as well as a hairline fracture to my sternum, my car was rear ended twice.
My doctor prescribed me Naproxen first for the pain and when it did not get better, prescribed Vicodin. Because I work during the day I usually only take the vicodin before bed or on weekends when I don’t have to be anywhere.
This weekend I was with friends and had taken vicodin and had a few drinks as well as a few red bulls so I could stay awake with them. The follow day I had a great deal of rectal bleeding and saw my doctor. She told me to stop taking all of the painkillers until the bleeding stops and told me to use Preparation H.
I did not mention to my doctor that I had been drinking alcohol over the weekend b/c I know you aren’t supposed to while on the pain killers. Could this have contributed to the rectal bleeding?

During a cleanse called the Master Cleanse http://themastercleanse.org/ there is a process called the salt water flush. On an empty stomach, one drinks 1 quart of water with 2 level teaspoons of unrefined mineral salt.

This process should produce a bowel movement as the saline solution takes the same specific gravity as ones blood, and therefore will not be absorbed.

It seems for some people – who of course may be using too much or too little salt, or the wrong kind of salt (table salt) – the flush does not work. They tend to wonder, what happens to the salt water if not absorbed or flushed. Is it harmful in any way?

I am diabetic and I want to do a cleanse before I start changing my diet for weight loss. But a lot of them require you to fast and I can’t b/c I am diabetic. Do you know of any cleansing drinks or teas that are okay for diabetics?

I’ve heard of drinks you take while avoiding foods, it supposedly flushes out your intestines and colon. Anybody try anything like this?

Im going to do it for 6 days. and a few more after that. What drinks should i drink for it? just water? or what about skim milk, or is that too many calories? Alsooooo, what should i start eating after the diet, so i dont gain all the weight back on, i hear juices and veggies and fruits are good.

One of my cats, Davis, had his (9 year) senior check up and blood work. His general exam and blood panel look great. Davis has appeared to have a sensitive stomach at times over the years. He eats, drinks, has clear eyes, normal behavior and a great coat.

He has bloody, loose stools and has lost 1 pound in two months. He tested + for giardia 5 days ago. Our vet gave him an injection to calm his intestine and sent home 5 doses of anitbiotic. After 3 days of medication, there was still blood in his stool. The vet was surprised the injection didn’t help. He said to check in on Monday and let him know how Davis is doing.

The vet is wondering if Davis may have irritable bowel and possibly need prescription food.

Aside from the Giardia we are treating, do you have ideas on what food is best for his sensitive system?

I free-feed 6 cats. So they would all be on the same food. Two are asthmatic and get flovent daily. Otherwise, we are all in great shape. ; )

I use to take this bitter medicine that made me go to the bathroom a lot. But I don’t want to buy it from a store this time. It helped me pass all the the waste out of my system. And at the same time made me loose weight.

Do you know any websites,…. that will teach me some ~homemade~ weight lost drinks. That will also clean out my intestines and clear my system of anything bad.

Thanks in Advance.

My 10 month old Persian Exotic has a touch of blood on his anus or sometimes slight bloody mucous in his litter box after a bowel movement. He has his shots, is very active, very healthy ( definitely NOT underweight), eats normal, drinks water normal.

He does not have loose bowels or hard ( constipated). No straining involved.
Anyone have any ideas what could be the cause?

Asian Chinese drinks lots of Chinese Tea. Is it good to drink a lot? I was told it helps to clean up oily food away from the intestines. Will drinking a lot Chinese Tea may cause kidney problem?

I heard that you should have a bowel movement TWICE a day, and that this is normal.
Having a bowel movement once a day is fine, too.
Having a bowel movement every other day is not very good,
and having a bowel movement every few days is very irregular (bad).

I tend to have bowel movements every few days, and I didn’t know that it’s not normal. I eat plenty of salads (atleast one a day). I don’t eat a lot of cheese, or things that would cause constipation.

I thought maybe I should take some powder fiber for my drinks, but I heard that it’s bad, and that I should cleanse my colon. I have tried "colon cleanse" pills, but I think it was just a gimmic because they did absolutely nothing!

What suggestions would you give?
How regular are your bowel movements.
Should I get this checked out, or just change my diet, and add on some fiber options.
The only medication that I’m on is Lybrel Birth Control.

I need to pretty much clean all the junk out of my intestines; but I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on it. Any suggestions on a cheap, effective, easy way to clean out my intestines? I tried to drink some Epsom salt and water earlier.. it was so horrible tasting. I took like 2 drinks of it.

Does anyone know any herbal remedies to cleaning your colon. I want to start working out and really want to nice abs. I also want my colon cleaned so I wont build up toxins. I really would prefer like supplemental drinks.

There is junk in my intestines.

Has anyone out there tried colon cleansing and what did you think of it? My friend is trying to convince me to do it with her, but I think it is a scam. All the websites about it want you to pay hundreds of dollars for their colon cleansing "systems." Does anyone know the facts about whether or not this really does anything to remove toxins? Please include links if you have them, thanks!
Okay, I am not just talking about an enema – I’ve had those before. These systems include specialized foods and drinks, and you don’t eat anything else for a certain amount of time. I don’t even think they include enemas.

Is there a way to cleanse or at least have MUCH better bowel movements without the use of doctors, special pills and wierd teas?

I mean like any normal foods/drinks or even positions….I ask this because lately I have been having sluggish bowels and constipation, but don’t want to use any medicine/pills/clinical procedures and just stick to a natural way.
No Scanner I didn’t know…what’s wrong with using straight water with an enema

I get bloated some times after a meal and I would like to get my insides cleaned out from any remaining trash. what is the best way to get the whole system a new again, fresh and clean. any herbs, drinks, avoid what?
thanks

I have a friend who has some possible symptoms of colon cancer. He is 22, and says when he goes to the bathroom, he bleeds a lot from his anus. He went to the doctor and they said it looked to be an internal hemorrhoid. His symptoms come and go, so my question is, if it is colon cancer, would the symptoms constantly be present? or do they come and go at different times?
Also, he said it gets worse when he eats spicy foods, and drinks alcohol.

Today a friend was drinking stuff to clean his body. He said that an average person holds 10 pounds of crap in their intestines. He was drinking something to clean it out. Anybody know any good drinks that would clean out your intestines?

I dont really want to get it sucked out of my butt like the movie "JACKASS 2"
