    Hello all!
    My buddy Lou just vomited up a hairball, which is a first for him. My very brief search for options shows ingredients like vegetable and soybean oils. I need some safe options that won't mess with his BGs. What do you all use for hairball remedies for your diabetics?

    Thanks in advance!

    I used to give Phoebe a little coconut oil. It seemed to help and not hinder.

    We'd give our cats Vaseline (petroleum jelly), which our weird cats loved and would lick right off our fingers.

    pretty much all the "Hairball" stuff made is just Vaseline w coloring or added flavoring

    I tried both coconut oil and unsalted butter. She loved that one! Also egg yolk powder.
