Thanks.
I've already got the “furminator” brush but I really haven't used it often enough.
He's been on the anti hairball dry food for a few months. He prefers dry and never really eats a lot of wet food.
The vet pulled a large ball of fur out of his stomach. He was vomiting but couldn't expel the mass.
I'll try to find the laxatone. The vet said he's also been constipated, they checked and he had hard/dry feces that he hadn't passed.
We just got through with a severe flea problem. Due to that, our twenty year old cat ended up anemic and her kidneys shut down. We had to put her down on the same day we received our HHG delivery. Due to all the related issues, my wife and I still haven't processed the loss of one pet. We're not capable of dealing with the loss of another.
Now that you are living in a much warmer climate, your dog will shed even more, which is probably what your kitty is taking in.
I would start furminating him everyday.
