Hey folks,
I hate for my first post here to be something this unpleasant but I'm having trouble finding any info on something this specific. I suppose I might as well get to the nitty gritty.
My cat was diagnosed with cancer just about a week ago(ack! Just writing that is hard to do). It's pretty far along know from what I understand and she's starting to turn down food more often than not. The reason I'm postinghere though is because over the last 4 nights she's been vomiting up a big tube of hair. At first a rather tight packed wad and since then something less dense but still pretty substantial. I've been over several hairball remedy sites and asked around a lot but pretty much everything I have seen thus far is a laxative... and right now the last thing I want is for her to have any more intestinal issues(The vet said something to the extent that it was intestinal cancer that spread to her liver, my wife was pretty broken up during the call but I think we're pretty clear on what's going on).
I guess to summarize, is there anything out there that may help my cat out without possibly irritating her already troublesome bowels. She probably won't be around too much longer with how things are looking these days, I just want her to be as comfortable as possible for as long as we have her.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer.
