The Vets-Best has been a MIRACLE for Mazy cat. Mazy, as you may know is my cat who has severe motility issues resulting in frequent regurgitation. I've had some success with diet change, but the hairball issue continues, and it is very bad this year especially. She's getting egg yolk lecithin twice a day (a whole capsule in the morning and another at night), 1/8 tsp Slippery Elm bark in a meal daily, and raw egg yolk twice a week (raw egg yolk is rich in choline which improves motility)
Still it wasn't enough, she'd gone from regurgitating only 2-3 times a month to almost daily when her shedding started in February. After talking to some folks in the Raw feeding for IBD group, I finally decided to try using the Vets-Best for her as more than just an occasional incentive.
One of my concerns was that the psyllium would make her stools too large. They are already a bit bigger than normal from the SEB. But I was getting desperate.
I started her on 1/2 tablet once a day, with her middle of the night meal. Because I got to bed so early Mazy gets a meal consisting of .25 ounce (one fourth ounce) around midnight or a little later )depending on what time I wake up to give it to her) I started mixing the 1/2 tablet into that meal a little over two weeks ago. (I gave her extra on the day I took them out and she ate grass)
The good news is, the V-B has not made her stools noticeably larger, but she is pooping more often, which is a good thing, means things are moving through a bit more quickly. And every poop is just FULL of fur. (Yes, I am pulling her stools apart)
So I highly recommend this product for hairball control, but I will also continue to recommend the egg yolk lecithin. Jennie and Queen Eva do not need Vets-Best or any other help aside from a 1/2 capsule of egg yolk lecithin every other day.
But I am so so so happy for Mazy cat.
