Hello there! It sounds like your kitty might be dealing with some uncomfortable digestive issues. Laxatone is a common remedy for helping cats pass hairballs or relieve constipation. However, it's important not to give your cat an entire tube at once. The recommended dosage is usually just a small amount, about one to two inches, given one to two times a day. Giving a full tube could upset your cat's stomach or lead to other complications like diarrhea.
If your cat is struggling with hairballs or constipation, start with the recommended dose and make sure they have plenty of fresh water available. You can also try gently brushing them to reduce hair ingestion or adding a bit of pumpkin to their food, which is a fiber-rich, natural option.
Keep an eye on your cat for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, a lack of appetite, lethargy, or continued constipation. If any of these occur, or if you see no improvement in a few days, it’s a good idea to reach out for more personalized advice.
Why not book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet? We can take a closer look at your kitty’s specific needs and ensure they're feeling their best.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
