I've been giving my moggy 1/8 a teaspoon of psyllium husk in his food (wet food + water) to prevent hairballs. Apparently, psyllium husk is already included in his commercial wet food ( Hill Science K/D), so I'm concerned about giving him more. I've also been grooming him regularly and adding fish oil to his diet. However, after 1 1/2 weeks of giving him psyllium husk he has still been coughing and coughed up a hairball yesterday. Is 1/8 a teaspoon too little? Is psyllium husk safe for CKD cats? I read that it's not recommended for human CKD patients because it's high in magnesium. It's hard to find info on how much potassium and phosphorus is in psyllium husk.
Thanks!
Thanks!
