"-L." wrote in message m... Well, it seems the Peewuss is majorly on the mend. He passed yet ANOTHER huge furball - this time barforola-ed it all over the room this morning, but I'm pretty sure that this giant furball was the main cause of his problem. This cat has been on hairballl remedy food for the last five years or so (Nutro) - and has never - until now, had a furball. I think this giant one had to have been in there forever. The vet bills from this past week have been in excess of $600.00. I cannot believe that a furball could cause this much trouble, but apparently, it has. I am planning to change his diet - and try to prevent further problems. I'm disappointed that the hairball rememdy food apparently had little effect. Anyway, thanks again to all who sent love and support. As for now, he's eating like a pig and feeling better. We are still keeping him under close monitor, though. -L. Are you using canned or dry food? I previously used Science Diet hairball control, and it helped. Then I switched to Wellness and Felidae (both canned). My cats' coats immediately improved, and I received an unexpected side effect -- they very seldom have furballs. MaryL He gets both. He prefers the dry chow, but now I have a canned he loves, so will be encouraging him to eat that. Thanks! -L. |

I have a feeling that hairball food is only as effective as the amount of water going in, since it's based on extra fiber. Karen Probably true. He HAS been drinking a lot of water lately, which I thnk helps. -L. |
