Peanut Butter and Hairballs!This from

this from my KatNips email letter:


A MORE "NATURAL" HAIRBALL REMEDY:

Did you know that a teaspoonful of peanut butter
smooth, not chunky) fed to your cat works great
as a hairball remedy? (So say animal control
officers and animal health care technicians.)
If you give your cat a dose every couple of weeks
(weekly for long-haired shedding cats), it proves
very effective. As always, be sure to consult
your veterinarian if you have any question.

COOL
I bet it would be funny too watchin our poor kitties trying to lick that stuff off the roofs of their mouths!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I will never know if it works or not. My cats wouldn't touch peanut butter if it was the only thing left on the planet to eat.

Don't forget Vaseline (PETtroleum jelly) works well and my vet approves.

MY problem is that I LOVE peanut butter, and would end up eating it all myself.
I can not control myself when it comes to chocolate and peanut butter (and when they are together ...........forget about it), so I can not keep it in the house.

I have used butter for hairballs- my vet said it was fine.

LOL me too, but then we would never get hairballs!

peanut butter.....mreow, got milk?
seriously tho, I have heard of them, but untill I heard Muffin gagging, I never realized how serious they can be
I have woke up a few times to her gagging, oh the poor thing!
it has been more lately so I am sure to give her the medicne for it regularly now.

what kinds do any of you use? I got this kind from my vet, called
laxatone, in a tube. has anyone else ever used this?

[krazyaboutkatz]

I use Laxa-Stat and I give it to my cats every other day. This seems to help a lot. Before I started doing this, one of them would throw up daily. Now it only happens occasionally. They don't like peanutbutter and I wouldn't want to use it because of the bad breath it would cause.

Actually when I had to give Kylie her pills I rolled them in PB and she didn't mind it.
Yorkster- did you see they have come out with chocolate and peanut butter cream oreos?
