Callie throws up hairballs often, even though she has been on Raw now since March. Is that unusual? This morning I woke up to the familiar sound, went dashing in to see who it was, then when I looked around to see where she was after I cleaned it up, she was in the litter box, pooping her cute little raw poop, so I know that end is working AOK
. The odd thing is that she threw up a hairball just last night too. And it seems the more I brush her, the more she sheds, therefore, the MORE she throws them up. (I use a zoom groom on her, which get a LOT of fur off of her, then I follow that up with a wire brush to get the lose stuff off)
I thought on raw the hairballs were supposed to go thru them and come out the other end
. She has medium length hair, but it's really fine. Anyway, I used to give them all the Temptation Hairball Control treats until they went on raw...now they don't get anything specifically for hairballs. Should I try to add something to their diet? She's the only one who seems to have issues. And since she's a little underweight, I hate to add anything that might cause her food not to digest (think I read that giving them a little oil helps, but also coats their tummies so they don't get their nutients, or something like that).
Oh, and she does still get Digestive Enzymes and probiotics, not that those would help with hairballs, but I guess they could.
Thoughts?
