Obi has been on 5 mg pred, fortiflora, metameucil for the past 6 months for hairball vomiting as many reading this know. He has done well, with a hairball about once every week or 2 weeks at the most. He eats, mood is good, is no longer overgrooming his belly. He is on Nature's variety rabbit.
Lately - the past week - he is throwing hairballs almost every day. I have an appt with the vet on Tuesday, but am worried and dont know what to do. I sent her an email last week and she has not responded. I am not too fond of that but I realize a hairball throwing kitty is not a priority, like a post op dog or cat. I will try to reach her again today. I switched this week to Proviable, to see if that would help, and added in a capsule of dried egg yolk lecithin. I dont know how long it takes for these things to work, or whether I should go back to fortiflora...
Since small cell lymphoma was never ruled out, as I did not biopsy, I am of course worried that Obi has it, and it is progressing. Whether it is or not, it cant be good for him to throw hairballs this much; that is what caused him to have a mild bout of pancreatitis last year. Tuesday seems like a long ways away.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be most appreciated.
