Your cat has just expelled a hairball, but you noticed some unusual shaking afterward, which seems concerning compared to previous incidents.
- Unusual reactions after hairball expulsion may indicate discomfort
- Monitor other symptoms and changes in behavior
- If shaking persists, it could require further investigation
While occasional hairball expulsion is normal for cats, the shaking you described may suggest an underlying issue such as dehydration, stress, or another health concern. It's important to observe her closely for any other symptoms, such as lethargy, decreased appetite, or continued shaking. If this behavior persists or you notice any additional signs of distress, it's advisable to consult with a veterinarian.
