TRAVERSE CITY -- During Pet Talk on 7&4 News Today, Dr. Jen Klabunde talked about controlling the problem of hairballs with your cats.  Dr. Klabunde says there is a distinct difference when it comes to hairballs and vomit with cats.

  • Hairball
    long and cylindrical
    cat acts normal afterwards
    occurs at random intervals
  • Vomit
    food like or watery
    cat acts ill afterwards
    usually persists until seen by a vet

Also, during Pet Talk, Dr. Klabunde featured two female kittens that are spayed and ready for adoption!  If you would like to adopt the kittens which are available through AC Paw, you can contact Northwood Animal Hospital at: (231) 276-6361.
