Happy that it comes in fish flavor to appeal to my cat. Will know more in a couple of weeks weather the hairball vomiting situation gets any better. My cat started throwing up all over the place.

They hit her with a lot of stuff including a petroleum gel-based stuff. Happened again a month later. Not sure why, all of a sudden but now I give her a small dose of Petro-malt which she likes better than the stuff the vet over-charged me for. She doesn't like me giving it to her I just started with the brand but it keeps her as a happy cat. Yes - 6 No - 0 Report. Petromalt is easy and it really works. My cat licks it from the tube. Loves the malt taste.

I recommend this highly. Yes - 5 No - 0 Report. I purchased this hoping my cats would eat it if I mixed it with their food. They normally attack their food but smelled the Petromalt and wouldnt go near their bowls. I had to put some on my finger and hold their mouths open in order to get them to swallow it.

They weren't happy. If the package didn't say Cats Love It! I wouldnt have expected them to eat it. I would not recommend this to a friend.

Would not recommend this product. Yes - 3 No - 6 Report. I have used several products and his one was introduced to me by my mother who is a cat lover. Well, my two cats have long hair so it was frequent this symptom and I didn't know what to do so my mother recommended it and after three doses.. Yes - 9 No - 0 Report. Yes - 3 No - 0 Report.

My cat loves Petromalt. It prevents him from hair balls very well. It a very safe medicine, not absorbed from GI tract. Ask a question. Search questions. Search topics and reviews.

The barley malt syrup added to the product makes the product more palatable.

I have a toy poodle that licks his bed and himself - and has the same reactions that a cat does with the coughing thing.

Is it safe to give him this product? Be the first to answer this question. Only can be used for cats. You can consult with your veterinarian if you want to confirm the information. I have a 6yr long hair cat that coughs and gags a lot and her purring and breathing has a rattle do you think its hairballs? Some common symptoms of hairball in cats include hacking, gagging and retching. Usually your cat will then vomit the hairball in relatively short order. If so, try giving her some fiber- either cooked and mashed yams, cooked and drained and mashed green beans, loose leaf catnip organic or some canned pumpkin straight out of the can, not cooked and see if that helps.

Also start grooming her daily to help pick up the extra hair she is licking off her when she grooms. The hairball remedy could have allowed the hairball to pass through the digestive tract and you won't see any evedence of it. In a kitten this young I would think it is more likely she ate something that didn't agree with her.

Do you have any live plants that may be poisonous? Did she eat people food? Some people food is toxic to cats like onions or chocolate. Has she been wormed by a vet? Worms will sometimes cause vomiting or nausea. Take a stool sample in to your vet and have it tested.

Is she up to date on her shots? These are just a few things to think about, let us know how things trum out! Joined Mar 24, Messages Purraise 1. Cats don't actually "cough up hairballs". They vomit them. I'm actually not sure where the phrase "cough up hairballs" originated, but it is not accurate. Cats do cough sometimes, just like people. If it's just an occasional thing and the cat is fine otherwise, there is no need to worry.

If she shows other signs of illness, make an appointment with the vet. Thanks for taking the time to respond everyone! I'll try to answer some of the questions you've had Originally Posted by DragonLady The hairball remedy could have allowed the hairball to pass through the digestive tract and you won't see any evedence of it.

Originally Posted by DragonLady These are just a few things to think about, let us know how things trum out! I would try and brush her like MA said because i bought my two a proper brush a few weeks ago, and when i saw what hair came out i felt awful knowing that they had been swallowing it, so it's a regular routine with them now, not only that but they love it, especially Rosie.

I have to make a litter run to PetSmart tonight, so I'm going to see about getting one of those gloves or rubber kind of brushes for her.

Something that might be a little more comfortable! For future prevention, not only is grooming good, but I use Friskies hairball treats. She practically begs for them. Once they are gone she looks for more.

She has not had hairballs since I started her on the treats. I brush my cat with a shedding blade, as I have found that they do the best for really getting rid of the hair. I get piles of it everytime. Kinda diamond-ish. My cat doesn't like being brushed, but loves the feel of the shedding blade.

I think because it doesn't have teeth like a comb, it feels better. It just pulls the hair out and doesn't hurt the skin at all.
