Lindysmom,

My Thelma has a chronic hairball problem too. Occasionally it escalates into multiple times over 2-3 days (like Fred.) This is usually just a hairball she is trying to get rid of and can't. Try laxatone, available at PetsMart, Petco, etc. Also the Pounce Hairball Remedy treats are very good.

If the vomiting continues, see the vet. Fred may have irritated his esophagus and need a dose of steriods to calm it down. (This worked for Thelma.) If he is an older kitty, 6+, it wouldn't hurt to have bloodwork done to eliminate liver problems or irritable bowel syndrome.

Hope this helps,
Dianne
