Kabou has been very picky about her wet food for the last couple of months. She has gone through these periods before, but not for as long. I attributed it to hairballs and ran it past my vet about a month ago. She agreed that unless there were other symptoms, hairballs were probably the cause. During this time period, she has vomited maybe once or twice, and only one hairball has come up. I give her laxatone, sometimes daily, during shedding season.
I came home last night, fed both cats, then Kabou proceeded to vomit. She vomited 6 times, the last time producing a large hairball. I expected her to feel better after getting it up, but I don't think she is. She kept to herself last night and avoided my other cat Brandon. She obviously did not feel well. Once she started acting hungry last evening, I gave her small amounts of boiled chicken and she kept it down. When I got up this morning, she still wasn't herself. No energy and no playing which is so not like her. She ate some of her canned food. I am taking her to the vet this afternoon just to make sure there is nothing else going on or other hairballs she can't get up.
For those of you whose kitties get hairballs, do these symptoms sound familiar? I hate to run to the vet every time I am paranoid, but I can't help worrying. Thanks
