I recently started my long hair on egg yolk lecithin to minimize hairballs. I was wondering if I will be able to see hairballs come out in her poop or if the lecithin breaks down the hairballs into much smaller, less obvious output?
So will I notice hairballs in the poop, or fur spread throughout (not all clumped up like a hairball)?I've read that something like the egg yolk lecithin, or egg yolk, is preferable to oil for hair balls. The explanation was that hair balls are already bound together with fat and you want something to break it up. Hopefully someone will chime in who knows more.
And to the original question....if it is working I believe you will notice more hair in their poop (and a lack of vomited hair balls.)
You can use dried egg yolks. Here, see this website. It even has instructions on how to make it: How Best to Manage HairballsI started giving my puking cat 1/2 capsule of EL for months. Some days I think it's working. But this week he still puked up a 2 inch hairball. So I don't know. I never see hair in the feces. I've wondered off the days I need to give it to everyone. If I could just put a cooked egg yolk. Might be cheaper than than the capsules.
