Thanks for all your posts.
Well Mitzi literally has NO other symptoms at all except her coughing and her lack of mewo noise when she tries.
Shes eating well, shes energetic and lively, shes drinking well.... shes herself in every other way.

The vet said not to take her in unless she she has any other symptoms as if I do all they will give her is maltpaste to start with and see how that goes.
Does anyone know how many days it would take for maltpaste to take effect if it is actually a hairball?
