This morning while I was doing my normal things in the kitchen, I noticed that Ellie was trying to flop around everywhere. She was flopped out in the path to the fridge, so when I stepped over her she got up, went to her box and struggled to flop out in the box.
She has been moving every 30 seconds to a minute for the last 10 minutes, trying to find the best place to flop out. Even flopping in the cats litter box. I got her out of the litter box and put it outside, and replaced it with a brand new clean litter box with just hay in it.
I don't know if she has gas or not, she won't let me get anywhere near her to check. I put some simethicone on the floor for her, since thats the only way she'll eat it.
So my thoughts are, she either has gas and is uncomfortable, and I'll have to go to the vet tomorrow morning. OR shes been acting really grumpy the last few weeks, so maybe shes having a false pregnancy and thinks shes about to have kits? Do they act uncomfortable like that when they're kindling?
I'm not going to bank on a false pregnancy, because its probably gas. But just a thought.
When I do go to the vet tomorrow, since thats probably going to happen, what medications will I need? Metacam, and what?
Thanks!
ETA: Isn't like, they get gas once or have a problem once, they're going to have a problem again? Is this going to be on going? If so, I really need to learn to treat this stuff better on my own.
