Soft stools & coughingThe soft stools - mushy for better way to describe them - hope youve all eaten, started last night, her movement this morning was the same & she hasnt been since. Generally speaking they both go once morning & last thing at night. For past 4/5 nights through choice they have stayed out in the conservatory at night. Last night Amber insisted on staying in - two bed buddies last night. During early hours Amber woke me - thought she wanted out - opened window which leads into Plant room. She proceeded to "cough" or as i first thought to be sick but didnt bring anything up. She stayed out - they have their own wee snug beds in the sun room. Tim stayed in. Today heard same wee coughing noise in sun room, made my way up back stairs & she looked to me to be retching? Again nothing came up Any ideas, if it wasnt for the soft stools i would wonder ?? Furball & if so - any suggestions? If she does it again & stools remain soft probably vet visit in order. Would welcome any advise/thoughts?

Coughing and retching could well be trying to bring up a furball - it really is the season for it as they are all moulting like billy-oh in this hot weather. As for the soft stools ............... I might try feeding a bit of bland food for a day or two to see if it helps - poached chicken or white fish and rice and see what happens. In the USA you can buy a hairball remedy, I've tried looking it up (can't remember the name just now) but can't find a UK equivalent ......... there must be something though. |

Katalax is very good for eliminating hairballs... http://www.vetuk.co.uk/dog-and-cat-s...ive-paste-p-27 Defurr UM is another product for hairballs, you can buy it as a paste or in packets of treats. |

Mags remembered it; Katalax is right. It's Petromalt here in the States, really works. Apparently the taste is very pleasing all of mine but Patches would have eaten half a tube if I'd let them. Is she eating OK? |
