help with kitty tummy ache???

[cyberwing]

Hi,
I have a BIG, 15 year old golden classic tabby, outside pet/barn cat. He caught a mouse this morning and ate it as usual but it didnt agree with him....he has a tummy ache....anything I can give the poor fella?? I know dogs can have Peptobismal but not a cat. Anything a cat could have to ease his tummy?
Thanks!

i'm no vet, but don't cats usualy take care of that kinda thing on their own? i thought that was why they ate grass..

but i'm not sure..

I'd watch him carefully, just in case the mouse had been poisoned. I dont know your area or the setup so I dont know if thats even an option, but something to think about anyway. Just check for signs - drooling, foaming or a lightness in his tongue or gums.

If he has difficulty breathing he may need to be checked to make sure a small bone didnt lodge where it shouldn't have.

Last of all, if you must, you could treat the little mouse as a hairball and add some cod liver oil to the cats next few feedings to help ease things out.

Good luck!
