Can someone please give me some advice? I have a long hair, male, 1-1/2 year old Maine Coon and he puked up a hairball the night before last and ever since, he has been periodically making these retching noises like he's trying to get something outta his throat, or like he's trying to cough up a hairball. Only nothing comes up and he seems like when he breathes there may be a light wheeze. He is eating ok and has played but I sense this is bothering him and of course I worry myself sick over everything with my babies. I bought some Laxostat at Petco and he hates it but I'm trying to give him relief. I was recently laid off so a vet trip is a scary thought... with little money I'll doubt they'll even see him!? Any ideas or suggestions? I've had a few cat owners tell me it sounds like a hairball trying to get out. How long does it normally take and what works best? Please help!! I don't want to waste time trying things that don't work....Dexter needs relief!!
