Having a cat that wouldn't eat and kept throwing up and lost 50
percent of his body weight and the vets had no idea what was wrong -
even after going to a specialist some distance away, I tried the hair
ball products and after 13 days of hurling a hairball - that is 13
hairballs people - the cat was fine again. Do you have any idea what
space hairballs consume in a cat? The older they get the less likely
they are to rid them by themselves. The petroleum coats the hairballs
and makes them easier to eliminate by either end.


Please do NOT take to hairball remedy laxitives. Sure, cats hurl
hairballs at times, but that is a laxitive which makes dehydration
worse if your kitty has kidney issues.


Our Meggie, (about 10 years old) had a huge growth in her abdomen, qnd
stopped eating. the vet operated on her, and found the "growth" was inside
her stomach. They opened up her stomach, and there was a huge hairball. They
removed it, and Meggie is fine. That was a couple of years ago. Total cost:
a little over $800.
