"My cat Noliani spent the whole night moaning and cying because of a hairball that she couldn't cough up. It had gotton so bad that she was vomiting after everytime she ate. My husband I were so worried! Working in the nutrition field in a Hospital I'm aware of how dangerous an obstucted bowl can be. So last night I made sure she didn't eat anything and had plenty of water available, then this morning as soon as Petco opened I bought this product. I followed the instructions and placed a tiny amount on her nose to get her interested in it. However, that didin't work. I know she was hungry but I think she was spooked about eating because had been vomiting right after she would eat, the day before. So here is what you can do if you cat isn't interested in the product: Put the recommended dosage on a spoon then, wipe your finger in it putting as much on your finger as possible then open you cats mouth (as if giving medicine) and smear it on his/ her tounge. Then let your cat close his/her mouth and swallow it down. Don't worry if it gets on other parts of their face, your cat will clean it off. Our cat wasn't very happy about this but after about 4 smears she ate it all. Then forgave me a few min later :)
One dose didn't work but after the second dose, I could hear bowel sounds and then she used her litterbox. Mission acomplished! My recomendation though is, if it dosen't work after a few doses take your cat to the doctor, If the obstuction is bad or perferates part of the bowel it could be deadly.
Good luck!"
