yup a hairball just as I thought, very common and it takes alot of upchucking to get them out sometimes....remember to groom him and give him some hairball gel to help keep rid of these things....gel avail at pet stores, or just a small amount of WHITE petroleum jelly if he'll take that, usually it has to be the hairball gel with some flavoring added, give him abt an inch of it on your finger to lick off about 2x weekly!!!!!
if these hairballs get stuck they will cause all sorts of digestive and bowel problems...so
Hi!
He has been doing really good after all crisis he had been went through.
I saw his puke on sunday afternoon with hair in it!!
Weird I didn't see any couple days ago when he start puking. I think finally he was able to manage the thing he wanted to bring it out! so far, he is great!
But thanks so much been concern about my boy!
Have a great weekend!
feed him just small more frequent meals today and see if he can hold them down....I do hope your feeding canned foods?
I would also give him a hairball treatment its available in a tube/gel...usually flavored with malt, he'll lick it off your finger...just in case he does have a ball irritating his tummy.
If he starts to vomit again after eating you had best get him checked out....also be sure he has lots of water, he;ll be quite dehydrated after all the fluid he brought up and dehydration is dangerous...
let us know how it goes...hope he continues to be okay :)
Hi!
Yes, in the 2morning at first it was food he tried to puking out then later just a liquid of color in. I tried to look closer if there is any in it, but nothing.
But good new is he didn't puke in the morning!
we were talking about to take him to vet if he was still puking when we wake up today. Seems he is fine ;) But just to wait for a bit if it come back, we will take him in. cuz we don't want to think about worst scenario.
is he actually puking up or is it possible he's trying to bring up a hair ball?? this will often sound like puking b/c they are trying very hard to expel this mass of hair lodged in their stomachs ....
