Nutiva organic coconut oil placed on my cats front leg has helped to reduce the amount of his hairballs,
was hoping that it didn't cause diarrhea like fish oil?My big old boy kitty ( Earl Grey ) has had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for several years. I have tried EVERYTHING - he is so big I can't force him to take his nasty tasting medicine - so have ended up giving him nothing and feeling like such a bad mom. While I was cooking one night he got into my coconut oil and was LOVING it so I thought if it's good for me, it might help his digestive problems. Voila !! His diarrhea is better, he doesn't cry when he poops and his over-all personality is much nicer. Have started giving it to my little shy girl kitty (Dolly) and although she is still painfully shy, she doesn't barf nearly as often and haven't seen a hairball recently. Have no scientific proof that it works ..... I'm just sayin" ......
