Thread: Stress, excessive grooming & furballs

Hi Everyone - they are all great tips and suggestions!! The vet advised to get feliway. We've discussed getting another cat/kitten but wonder if this will add to his stress given his nature/feelings at the moment or if it would be the best thing for him.

Has anyone ever tried laxatone or similiar for excessive furballs?

I have used Defurr UM paste in the past but gave up when I started including the hairball biscuits in the food,at work we normally gave out Katalax but have changed product now because it became so expensive,I am not out on the desk very often but have a feeling we have moved onto the product you mention,a lot of clients say they have a good response by using the product regularly so you are not going to loose out by trying it.
Just remember if you are going to trial the Feliway that it has to build up & be in an area that he mostly uses to get full effect,I think it tells you the area it will cover,just make sure you keep the windows closed though because if any are opened close by it will loose its efficacy .
I do hope he is soon a happier little fellow...x

Today is Chester's second attempt of coming off flagyl. The last time (for the same problems) he tried doing this a few weeks ago, he had chronic furballs and diarrhea within 48 hours... keep your paws crossed everybody that it's going to be better this time!

He is still excessively grooming his coat.

Has anyone else tried RC hairballs/furballs? - any success/help?
