Litter box liners are created for the convenience of the cat parent but they often tear from the catâs claws. Itâs also easy for urine to form pools in the folds of the plastic and that creates an odor problem.
Intussusception should be a consideration if your pet has a history of vomiting or diarrhea that has a palpable mass in the abdomen. The mass can be felt as a thickened sausage-shaped intestinal loop. Occasionally the small bowel can be felt entering the mass.
Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children between ages three months and three years old. Intussusception occurs when a portion of the intestine folds like a telescope, with one segment slipping inside another segment. It can occur in the colon, the small bowel, or between the small bowel and colon. The result can be a blocked small bowel or colon.
