Just curious if anyone else gives their cat Laxatone, PetroMalt, or other gel or malt hairball remedies?
What's your experience with it?
My cat Snickers is a long haired, excessive groomer. Very lovely but he gets HUGE hairballs that cause him to vomit a lot of fluid while he's bringing up the hairball.
So I started him on Laxatone; I use it every day (he begs for it, like a treat). The laxatone is *supposed* to make him POOP the hairball out, make it "pass through his system" versus bring vomited up; HOWEVER --- I have noticed, it certainly helps the hairball to pass, ONLY, it passes through his mouth... he still pukes up the hairballs, but they're now slimy and coated with the Laxatone.
I'm happy that he is able to bring up the hairballs without such distress (the last big furball adventure, I had to take him to the Vet for an emergency subcutaneous fluid injection), but I still am curious
as to why the hairballs don't "pass as they should"? Through his bum, pooped out vs. puked up?
Does anyone else use hairball remedies and tell me your experience? Or am I doing something wrong? Maybe giving him too much? Thx
