OK -a couple of my boys suffer from time to time and I have varying degrees of success dosing them with Laxatone or Hartz Salmon Flavored hairball grease.
I also have varying levels of success brushing them, though I now have a couple of Zoom-Groom converts.
Unfortunately, the ones who have the most trouble with the hairballs are the ones I have to chase down or sneak up on and whammy them with the stuff.
I have had a couple of them yak up a little yellowish looking fluid or partially digested food packed with hair.
I have seen poo on occasion packed with hair, too.
With seven cats of varying temperaments... I am always looking for "passive delivery systems"....
Can anyone recommend stuff I can add to their food to help them along? I don't like mineral oil b/c I know it can affect GI absorption.
Also - given my schedule, it is impossible to give them HB treatment and wait an hour or two to feed them.
