How to carefully prevent hairballs in cats?
Methods to prevent cat hairball disease:
1. In order to prevent the cat from eating too much hair, comb the cat's hair frequently to reduce the floating hair on the cat's body.
2. Feed cats cat grass. Cat grass needs to be cultivated by yourself, but it grows quickly. Cats will spit out hair balls after eating cat grass.
3. Do not bathe your cat with human body wash, as this will destroy the cat’s skin barrier and cause the cat to shed a lot of hair. Be sure to use pet-specific body wash.
4. You can feed the cat some hair removal cream. Hair removal cream is equivalent to a lubricant for the intestines and can help cats expel hair balls. Most cats like to eat hair removal cream, but it contains too much oil and regular consumption does not help intestinal digestion, so you need to pay attention to the dosage.
Symptoms of cat hairball disease:
1. Cats frequently vomit, and there are hairs in the vomit. When hair ball syndrome is severe, cats will lose their appetite and become listless.
2. Because the hair balls are blocked in the cat’s gastrointestinal tract, affecting the cat’s digestive function, the cat may also suffer from constipation, dry and hard stools, and hairy stools.
3. After the hair accumulates in the cat’s intestines for a period of time, the cat’s belly will appear bulging.
