BTW, thats probably at least partly from me (grin).

Yes, and I thank you. I'd never heard of it until you posted about it
here.
So far so good. But I had hoped pumpkin, and before that added fiber,
were working too. We'll see. Keeping fingers crossed. Not sure I'm
using right size and frequency of dose.

I'd keep with the fiber to help. On the oil, I found Olive the most
effective with some of them. If you feed twice a day, start with 1/2
TS at the meal they are most apt to barf up a furball before the next
feeding. With cats, that's normally evening meal for my experiences
but some are daytime mostly so would be morning meal. Edge up to 1 TS
a feeding and if it isn't working, probably need another solution to
it.


I'm not sure I understand. She eats three times a day. Emily always
throws up in the middle of the night. So I should give her a half
teaspoon only with her evening meal? That's roughly what I do now, except
a quarter teaspoon with two meals. Or is the timing critical? Or a half
teaspoon each with two meals?

The quarter teaspoon twice isn't working. She threw up at 3:30 AM this
morning. Very little fluid and I didn't see any hair. Looked like a long
'cigar' of hair when she first threw up but by the time I could get some
paper towels all I saw was a bit of liquid. I probably was wrong about
the cigar; after all, it was 3:30 and I had been asleep. I gave her a
half teaspoon of Laxatone and will repeat late this evening. Then resume
the olive oil tomorrow. I don't think it's a good idea to give her both
oil and Laxatone if I can avoid it - a bit too much.

I'll add a quarter teaspoon of fiber to her morning meal which I don't
dose with olive oil.

Suggestions?
