Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2004hairballs
My cat has been coughing and hacking up hairballs recently. I did buy her some remedy. My question is, are hairballs self-curing? Is the remedy just something to make the humans feel better? Or is the remedy to make the cat stop coughing them up and to make her feel better? Just wondering, thanks. ~Melanie "Melanie's Phony Email Address for NGs" <princessinthengtower@yahoo.ca> wrote in message news:5c69097f.0410162051.2a3ef416@posting.google.com... > My cat has been coughing and hacking up hairballs recently. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > ~Melanie The hairball remedy (basically Vaseline + a flavoring) is to help the hair to move along the digestive tract, so that instead of coughing the hair up in the form of hairballs, the hair hopefully goes all of the way through & winds up in the litter box instead.

I found somee hairball formul food by science diet (wet food) last time I went to the pet store. I bought some along with my usually flavors and the Royal Cain dry to try. I think it is working better than the remedy does. And the cats eat it. They get a little of the hairball formula a couple times a week and I have had less throwing up hair balls than when I was using the remedy a couple times a week.

And she has long white fur on her tummy. An interesting ancestral mix! I think it's about time she stopped shedding and kept her winter coat! Speaking of cat fur everywhere, I think my cat cursed my vacuum cleaner. It stopped working. It's a week until the new one arrives. I told Cristobel to not shed until then,but she appears to not have understood me.

Now you know we need to see some photos! :) You can post some at a free Yahoo photo site, it's easy. Then you can post the link here. I did it. Or you can post photos directly to alt.binaries. pictures.animals. Here are my babies. They don't look nearly as special as they are. :) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/crazyaboutfelines/my_photos Melanie's Phony Email Address for NGs <princessinthengtower@yahoo.ca> wrote in rec.pets.cats.health+behav: > My cat has been coughing and hacking up hairballs recently. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > ~Melanie The remedies make the cat feel better--they can pass the hairballs rather than hork them up. We use the Pounce hairball treats and haven't had an episodes for ages.  SignatureBrandy??Alexandre? http://www.swydm.com/?refer=BrandyAlx Well, would you? |
