Thanks - I will ask the vet about psyllium, and it's good to know a picky cat will eat Lactulose in food, but she's suddenly gone a bit off her food and a bit stary coated and the Lactulose was low so I resorted to the syringe in case she wouldn't take it in food. Poor love, she bore up very well, cuddled her afterwards and kissed her and stroked her throat to make her swallow; then she got down and had a cough, a proper Siamese cough, neck outstretched, high pitched croupy 'woof woof'' noise as she brings it up from her boots ... all Siamese and Siamese mixtures do this; it's a Siamese national custom.
Yes, I've been spiking her FR with different dried, in small packets from the supermarket, novelty, and it's been well-received but ... is it Mouse who's scoffing it or Molly? I can't be sure ...
The syringe reminded me of a disgraceful episode when my first Siamese litter went down with some sort of lurgy, and were prescribed antibiotics, to be adminstered by syringe. This was in 1985 and I was the oldest punk in Wakefield, shaved spiky black and pink hair, weird ratty clothes, lots of kohl, and living in a small and very nosy village. I had to chase the little horrors round the front room and catch them before I could dose them, and all the gossips used to peer in ... well, I suppose you would, if you saw some woman with black and pink spiky hair etc, running round a room with a syringe clamped between her teeth ...
Oh dear the embarrassing episodes our cats put us through ...
