Answer
Hi susan - You can buy supplies from Revival Animal health - this is the site - I wonder if you can find cat enema products at your local pet store?
You can also double up on the canned pumpkin.
Sorry, I don't have any other ideas

You may need to have the vet do an enema again.
Get the products from Revival for the future..
