Hi, folks. I have posted before about this but hope for something new. My cat mittens (14) has chronic hairballs. I have tried everything; miralax, metameucil, egg yolk lecithin, pumpkin, slippery elm, probiotics and other specific hairball supplements. The only thing that help is keeping her rather closely shaved in a lion cut. At least for a few months until she grows out, there are few if any hairballs. Recently I took her in for a haircut ( different place) and they did not clip her as closely; and now it is hairballs again several times a week. Of course my vet wants to do an ultasound, which is scheduled. But she has had ultrasounds before, and have shown nothing. I realize things could have changed since her last one in 2021, but she is very healthy otherwise (and just had a perfect blood chemistry panel for seniors. IDK what I can do other than keep her shaved. Any thoughts that are not redundant will be appreciated.
