CATDOLL : How to treat and prevent cat hairball disease

Symptoms of hairball disease in cats:

1. When a cat suffers from hairball disease, it will vomit frequently and there will be hair in the vomit.

2. If the cat's bowel movement frequency decreases, or it has not defecated for many days, and there is hair mixed in the feces, it also means that the cat suffers from hairball syndrome.

3. When a cat's hairball disease is more serious, the cat's appetite will decrease and its spirits will be low.

4. Cats suffering from hairball disease will have a slightly swollen abdomen and blocked intestines.

5. The cat's hair may become rough and dull.

Prevention and treatment of hairballs in cats:

1. If you want to prevent hairball disease in cats, you should comb your cat's hair regularly. This is because combing the cat's hair can promote blood circulation, reduce hair loss, and collect fallen hair. This way, when the cat cleans its body, it will not inhale too much hair.

2. Feeding cats with cat grass or hairball remover regularly is an effective way to prevent cats from suffering from hairball disease. Cat grass and hairball remover can promote the gastrointestinal motility of cats, help cats expel hair from the body, and prevent hair from accumulating in the body.

3. Some vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber can also help cats dissolve hair. Feeding cats with appropriate amounts of them on a regular basis will have a very good effect. For example, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc., cooked and fed to cats, can not only dissolve hair, but also increase nutrition, making the hair more shiny and smooth.

4. When a cat suffers from hairball disease, the pet owner can feed it some cat grass, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help expel hair from the body.

5. Some cats don’t like to eat cat grass. Pet owners can feed them hair remover paste, which works in the same principle as cat grass and can also help cats expel hair.

6. When a cat's hairball disease is very serious, with poor appetite, lethargy, frequent vomiting, severe constipation, etc., and there is no improvement after eating cat grass and hairball remover, then you should consider surgical removal.
