Poor Lily just cried - and threw up!

Just wanted to start posting at PetTalk when I heard Lily crying in distress. When I went looking for her, she was about to throw up. She trew up some grass and clear liquid, maybe was trying to get rid of a hairball (she's losing tons of hair these weeks).

Well, she's not used to vomit a lot (sadly, I have to say that's Luna's domain), so it seemed to have scared her. She ran away from the puddle and looked really confused. Poor girl!

Poor Lily - do you have any hairball meds to give her?

Unfortunately, it's impossible to give Lily any meds.

She just won't let you!

The hairball meds are just a paste. Some cats will lick it right off your finger. If not you could just dab a little on her paw so she has to lick it off.
I have tried it with Taz and what I did was put it on my finger then just basically stuck my finger in his mouth (not so I hurt him of course), I tried to swipe it on his tongue.

I hope Lily is okay.

Aww, poor Lilly - tell her I know how she feels - I HATE throwing up! I hope she feels better soon.

Kirsten,

I wouldn't worry too much. Mollie Rose, who is 16, does the same thing. She also yowls at the Drinkwell Fountain just before she figures out where the depth of the water is.

Thank you everyone for your advide! Don't worry, she's fine!

I don't even think she's been ill, and I hope she can still get rid of that possible hairball.

I have such a hairball paste, btw, but even that is impossible with Lily. Believe me, I've tried all the tricks!

Poor girl, I'm sure it was just a hairball from all the seasonal shedding! Mine have been making the dreaded puddles too!

**Kirsten** · 07-23-2009, 11:58 AM

Yes, it's the time of the year... Mine have been shedding horribly a while ago, when the first heatwave was here. Recently, Luna threw up a huge hairball, she must have felt so relieved after that!
