Hair ball vomiting in cats 😿:

🐱 As cats are self groomers and lick their body so many hair are swallowed and get stuck in the stomach which later on cause vomiting. It is common to occur twice a month and occurs mainly in long hair breeds like persian and cats which are not regularly brushed.

🐱 If it is beyond normal range then hair ball remedies are prescribed to be added in the food which dissolve hair. Also, regular brushing decrease the chances of hair ball vomiting.

🐱 If a cat owner complaints about vomiting, ask them about the frequency of vomit, have they seen it..how was its appearance, did they see any hair.. history will confirm the hair ball, then proceed as guided above.

Feline case:

Many times cat owners complaint that their male cat is urinating in different parts of the house pr on different objects. It is usually very annoying because of the urine smell.

It is actually a normal behaviour of male cats which is called Spraying. And they spray usually when they are frightened off other cats or human and want to mark their territory to alarm other cats.

A permanent solution to this is Neutering because this behaviour is due to male s*x hormone Testosterone and after neutring these hormones are not released and no spraying behavior occurs again.

Definition of IU (international unit)

IU (international unit): An international unit (IU) is an internationally accepted amount of a substance. This type of measure is used for the fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D and E) and certain hormones, enzymes, and biologicals (such as vaccines).
The definition of an international unit (IU) is generally arbitrary, technical, and eminently forgettable. For example, an IU of vitamin E is the specific biological activity of 0.671 milligrams of d-alpha-tocopherol. Nonetheless, most IUs are quite handy and helpful in use as a means of standardizing measures.

All international units are officially defined by the International Conference for Unification of Formulae.
