Kind of a gross question, but one day a couple weeks ago Smokie was trying to hack up a hairball. She didn't get it out and she calmed down and the hacking went away until a few days ago. She stood on top of me while I was sleeping and started again (nice way to be woken up, huh?). So, I got her some PetroMalt from the advice I've read on this board and been giving her that according to the directions. It's not continual, so far as I can tell she's only done this twice around me. I guess my question is... How can I tell if she's gotten rid of it (I have found no obvious evidence on my floors!), and how long does it typically take? I understand if it takes too long, she could wind up with some serious problems and possibly have surgery? I just don't know what too long is...
Sorry for such a lengthy question on a seemingly simple topic. It's her first hairball and I read way too much information on the internet- which mostly makes me worried instead of relieved! Thanks!!
