We have a hairball!!!!! I've never seen one so big! No wonder she wasn't really eating. We took her outside this afternoon and allowed her to eat some (non fertilized/pesticide) grass, I think that did the trick! I've never been so happy to walk home to a hairball on the floor!

How long could it take for her to pass this hairball? I feel like I'm trying everything under the sun lol. She must be uncomfortable. We did get her on her leash and outside this evening, she really enjoyed that! It was her first time with a harness/leash and going outside without howling...

I never thought of that. I have a couple of syringes left over from having to assist feed her back in December. I'll give that a go. I've just been opening her mouth and putting it in there lol.

Got some of the malt hairball remedy, she still hates it lol. Took one sniff and ran away! I'll have to keep forcing some into her.

No way!!! That makes me feel so much better feeding it to her!

The laxatone is tuna - I figured because she's a big sea food fan with her food it would be the the better choice. I'm going to pick up the malt one tonight now! I'll also try some of the Thera bites. Thank you so much!

I believe the vet did a pretty good check over! I'm going to pick up some pumpkin today and see if that helps. I'm also using the Laxatone hairball remedy but she hates it. She runs every time she sees me pick the bottle up! If the pumpkin doesn't work I'll be looking into the Metamucil! Thank...

This is what I'm worried about - i would hate to see it having to be surgically removed which is why I'm going to try my hardest to get her to pass it! She's not gagging or having any troubles breathing. She seems totally normal other than the decreased appetite. I'll be checking her box...

I totally forgot about pumpkin! I'll pick some up today! Boos diet isn't the greatest. She suffered some pretty bad liver issues recently due to an anti anxiety medication we had her on. She had stopped eating completely so I was feeding her whatever I could manage to get her to eat - that being...

My cat Boo is currently struggling with a hairball problem. I brought her to the vet yesterday as her eating has dwindled down - we ran blood tests, urine and did an X-ray. Thankfully, after all her liver problems these past few months her blood panel came back great. Urine was good and her...

I couldn't agree more. I too, will wonder forever if we made the right choice/what was really wrong with Tucker. I'm trying so hard to have full confidence in our vet and that she presented us with the two most viable options. I just hope we took the right one. I still have a cat here, Boo, who...

Oh my goodness, sorry! I apparently don't know my breeds very well. WOW, are they ever gorgeous. Thank you again, so much. I appreciate it more than you know.

Thank you Kittens mom, your words couldn't be more true. My gut instinct at that moment told me letting him go was the best thing we could do for him. We were told what it seemed to be, with very slim chances of heart disease or pneumonia (Like the vet has hoped for rather than cancer). We were...

I'm so sorry to hear what you went through with Mau. That's exactly what we wanted to save Tucker from experiencing. Sometimes I wish we could see into the future to avoid situations like what you painfully had to experience.

Thank you, Laura. Your reply is so appreciated though I'm sorry to hear of your experiences. These situations are so tough, both physically and emotionally draining. It's hard to let go of our fur babies who've done nothing but provide us with unconditional love. Even harder to watch them suffer...
