Dear friend,

Hemay have ingested hair that he is unable to bring up or a dental issue. Inspect his mouth for any abnormalities.Put a one inch strip of laxatone on his foot three times a day for him to lick off. That will prevent acid reflux and enable him to pass hairballs through his stool so he will not have to vomit.Feed him canned food and give him a half teaspoon of mineral oil mixed in a little wet food to make this easier to pass.

Please let me know how he is and if you have any more questions. I will be happy to help.

Very sincerely,

Terri
