Katalax Hairball Treatment

Product Information

Vets, as a group, do not know much, if anything, about feline nutrition. Your vet obviously doesn't either if she is recommending "hair ball" food, that your cat is already eating and there is no improvement. Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It might be a furball higher up in the digestive system, try feeding some mashed up wet food with plenty of water, make a 'soup' - it can sometimes help with bringing up the fur. For many cats with acute bouts of constipation, they will only need laxatives a couple of times a day for one to two days. However, those with chronic constipation may need a daily low dose. When to seek vet help for cat constipation Constipation is infrequent or absent defecation that is linked with feces being retained in the colon and the rectum. The aim is to prevent this from happening, so we want to ensure a normal stool is passed at least once daily.

Allergies/Toxicity: Katalox has been reported to cause respiratory irritation in some individuals. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information. Those prone to constipation often do best on a wet diet that is high in fiber, allowing for a good hydration level and preventing the stool becoming too hard. Owners can increase water intake further by adding water to meals and using a cat water fountain. Lactulose is cheap and readily available. It can be given into a cat’s mouth and is a hyperosmotic laxative, meaning it draws water into the bowel. The dose is 0.5mg/kg every 8 to 12 hours as needed. As results can be instant, it is sensible to give it with a cat in the bathtub or near to their litter tray. How to use a laxative safely with your cat
