Treatment methods for cats suffering from hairballs:

1. Groom the coat every day. The most fundamental reason why cats have hairballs is licking and ingesting hair. Cat licking is an instinctive behavior, and it also has the functions of self-soothing and cleaning the body. Therefore, owners should comb the cat's hair diligently every day and help the cat replace old and floating hair in time. This can improve the source of hair balls in the cat owner's body and reduce hair ball syndrome.

2. Help the cat to shed hair. When a cat has hair balls in its body, help it shed hair and remove hair in time. Common methods of removing hair balls include feeding cat grass, feeding hair removal cream, feeding beer yeast powder, etc., which can not only help the cat to supplement nutrition, but also help it expel hair balls. In addition, giving cats more water and more exercise can also promote gastrointestinal motility and make cats expel hair balls more smoothly.

3. Inducing vomiting and purging. If the cat's hair ball syndrome is severe, the owner can induce vomiting and purging appropriately to help the cat expel the hair ball in a timely manner. The specific method is to feed the cat some olive oil and laxatives to clean the hair balls in the intestines and stomach and help eliminate them. Note that after inducing vomiting and diarrhea, goat milk powder and probiotics should be prepared to help the cat replenish nutrition and restore gastrointestinal health in a timely manner. If the cat is very weak, you cannot induce vomiting or diarrhea.

4. Staple food prevention and improvement. When a cat has hairball syndrome, the owner can also take care of the cat on the staple food. Choose some cat food that protects the gastrointestinal tract and eliminates hairballs as the daily staple food. It can prevent and improve hair ball disease in cats.
