    ...again for 5 weeks. I thought he might be allergic to egg yolk, though, as there were drops of blood on his stool, so I switched to egg yolk lecithin... 3 days later we got a hairball (after 5 weeks), then 2 days later another one. Seeing as his behavior and his appetite are fine, I'm not...

    Egg yolk powder for constipation

    Hi! Have you tried mixing a little bit of the egg yolk powder to malt paste? My cat wouldn't eat the powder if I mixed it with his food, but mixed with the paste it was fine. It was like a treat to him. I stopped giving it for months and now we're back at it, and he's finally letting me add it...

    ...And, that blockage could be hair. In the intestines, hair can congeal into clumps/balls and these can block the passageway. Egg yolk lecithin prevents these clumps from forming so the hair just passes through. Here's a snip from an amazing website, FelineConstipation.org, that covers all...

    ...that he doesn't tolerate egg yolk? Or could this be something he's getting used to, that could eventually go away? I did order egg yolk lecithin too, but haven't given that to him. His behavior is great. He plays, eats, pees and grooms normally. I've had an acupuncture/osteopathy session...

    Egg yolk powder for constipation

    ...Egg yolk powder can absolutely be used to treat constipation. As long as it doesn’t swing it in the other direction (it’s the one caution I have for egg yolk powder or egg yolk lecithin—it can work too well!), I think you’re doing great if that simple addition fixed up a long standing problem.

    Agree. You could always go back to using the Egg Yolk Lecithin since it helped before

    One poop! Not too watery, so hope that means the miralax is leaving her system. Still burying. Haha, you got that right that things have to be her way. That was my understanding as well on the poops, that's why I asked, even with the still liquid poop, they said that's likely just the miralax...

    Egg yolk powder for constipation

    Good luck with the egg yolk powder & lecithin. I have a plugged up kitty & she won't eat any of the things I bought, I have almost a whole bag of the Fur for Life dried egg yolk powder & none of my 3 kitties will eat food with it on it. That's why I tried the capsules of lecithin, nope. Same thing!

    Egg yolk vs egg lecithin

    My cat has hypomotility issues which caused hairball obstructions. My vet suggested Cat Lax. I also learned egg yolk helps with motility and egg lecithin helps with hairball. I’m giving her 1/4 tsp dried egg yolk powder twice a day. Can I add egg lecithin at the same time?

    Hair all preventative for a cat with food allergies?

    Or if he can have eggs, egg yolks are good for hairballs. Dried egg yolks, or egg yolk lecithin work well too. One of my cats really like both of those, but the other not so much. You can actually purchase dried egg yolks from Foodfurlife so you don't have to go to the trouble of making them...

    Chronic dandruff

    Hi The only things I can think of is to add some egg yolk (powder or lecithin) to his food now and then, also possibly some fish oil or a dab of butter on your finger - these can help with hairballs but also help skin and coat, and additionally, maybe try a different type of brush. Here's a...
