Egg yolk vs egg lecithin

[Catmom1234567890]

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?

I wouldn’t add both, personally, as egg yolk contains lecithin. I’d try egg yolk (or the lecithin, if you’ve bought it already), and see how your cat goes. Both help for both issues.

I agree with above, choose one or the other. And I wouldn't give more than 1/4 teaspoon a day, as both lecithin and egg yolk contain high levels of phosphorous and excessive amounts may lead to kidney disease.
