| 3442.1 | Get Laxatone | CRUISE::NDC | Putiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313 | Wed Mar 21 1990 08:07 | 9 |
| Get some Laxatone or Petromalt - come to the Hudson show this weekend
and buy it from Hadleigh House. Besides, You haven't seen my
new little fold yet. Brushing will help - a bath might help more,
but the biggest help will be the laxatone. Follow the directions -
if the cat is having problems with furballs you start out by giving
a more frequent dose, then once the problem is under control you
give a maintenance dose.
It works.

| 3442.2 | Try Vaseline | MIVC::MTAG | | Wed Mar 21 1990 12:34 | 8 |
| I've tried the stuff for furballs from the vet - the stuff cats are
supposed to *love*. Well, my guys HATE it! However, they love
Vaseline so I give them that and they seem fine. I have very few
furball problems these days. The vet was surprised they like Vaseline
(note, they don't like the generic stuff) and was not upset that I was
giving it to them. I've also heard mineral oil is good.

| 3442.3 | Here comes the pump, guys..... | BOOVX2::MANDILE | | Wed Mar 21 1990 13:41 | 6 |
| I have two that *adore* the Laxatone, and beg for more. The
other two hide when they see the pump coming. The newest
tube is now styled like pump toothpaste. A lot less on the
messy side!!

| 3442.4 | thought you might be interested to know... | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Wed Mar 21 1990 15:24 | 8 |
| I have always known that you shouldn't give the Petromalt or Laxatone
just before or right after a meal, but I just learned why. It coats
the stomach and intestines, and can interfere with the absorbtion
of the nutrients from the food by the body. So, now that I *know*
why this is so important, I am going to be much more careful about
when I give the stuff.

| Ya, Flame and Bonnie will eat Petrolax (the stuff in the pump
bottle) as long as Ikeep giving it to them, but I have to force
it on the rest. Oh well....fortunately we don't have too many
furball problems, except for Mao.
