Hey guys it's me again. I sent this e-mail to Dr Jean. and I wanted to post it publicly as well. If you would be so kind as to take a look an weigh in on the matter. Thanks as always.
I've got a question and you seem the perfect person to ask. My cat Pumpkin is a 9 1/2 year young domestic shorthair. Big, Neutered, friendly. But for the last 2 days he's been yaking up his dry and canned food. Yesterday he had several episodes of vomiting right after his meal and he finally puked up two or three hairballs.
After that he went to the bathroom and moved his bowels and went back to normal. He's not lethargic, he's not constipated. But he suddenly will not take his hairball jelly that I got from petco. He used to lick it off my finger and now I have to put it on his paw to get him to take it. He's had an extensive senior blood panel done in May and is healthy. I feed him Blue Buffalo dry senior food, some raw chicken medalions once or twice a week and he gets canned from natural balance weight control a few times a week. He is a big boy, 14 pounds, loves to eat. He eats way too fast and always has. He yaked up his dry 2 times today. He has managed to keep down his hairball treats and he has kept down his dry if I put it in his treat dispenser where he cant' eat it all at once. I know this is long, but any suggestions on a good hairball remedy that will clear him out really well in a few doses? Thanks.
