Kuhio used to upchuck a lot in her later years. As a youngster she'd eat the hairball medicine, but after a while, refused to eat it. I started buying her baby (meat) food. Every now and then I'd give her a jar of turkey or chicken or beef and she'd eat it right up. The vet suggested it because it helped with hairballs. We did notice that she quit puking so much after a while.
