so i have a long haired calico girl. she is indoor only and fixed. she has coughed (vomited) up plenty of hairballs before but she hasnt had one in a long time. but she has however been hacking and coughing like she needs to for MONTHS. and its been getting worse. i bought her some hairball gel and have been using it consistently for a week but no luck so far? i did take her to the vet already but they wanted to do an xray for 400$!!!!! i love my cat and if i had that kind of money of course i would do it! but i just dont. i need some way to get this hairball out! she just lays close to the floor and hacks it sounds like she has bronchitis! i read one thing that said the patroleum based gels are actually worse to give. and i did read pumpkin might help but if anyone has had something like this happen id lvoe to know how it was resolved! thanks so much everyone
