    Perhaps a combination of the heat and the hairballs is making Cole feel yucky. I know Cali and Diego have both been shedding extra this summer with the heat and Cali has been ever so thoughtful about leaving me nice little hair balls here and there. Hopefully a trip to the vet this am can clear things up and make you both feel much better. HUGS!

    Well, Cole seems better this morning.

    He did eat a little later last night, and kept it down, having a good nap.

    He ate most of his breakfast this morning, then attacked Oscar's leftovers. I promptly put those out of the way. He's back to gurgling and chirping at me, and no sign of distress.

    I think the worst is over - thanks so much everyone! The prayers worked!

    Sounds good!

    Keep on keeping on, dear Cole!

    YES! I was hoping for good news this morning.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Cole might have been hungry, and had a bolt-n-barf. Some of my cats do that if they eat too fast. I hope he feels better!

    Sounds good - i, too, bet the incident last night was what she called the "bolt & barf" - they eat so fast they take in a lot of air as well as overloading their digestive system, which promptly rejects the whole package!

    Glad he's feeling better.

    I think that they're probably all very similar. I buy the ones in the pet stores but I haven't been giving my cats any for a quite a while. Some of them used to like the taste of the malt but then they changed the formula so now none of them like it. When I did use it, some of them seemed to cough up hairballs either the same day or a few days afterwards. It must dislodge any fur in their system and then they cough it up. I try to comb their fur at least once a week or more if I can. Ziggy usually won't let me though and she really needs it. I hope that Cole will continue to feel good and that you'll be able to control his hairballs. Good luck.
