If he likes his current food then you can add in a hair ball medicine like catlax or laxatone. You can give this to him 2-3 times per week. If you don’t feel like you will be able to do that then I would go back to the food you were feeding before since it seemed to help. I like science diet, Royal canin, Iams, and eukanuba which all should have affordable hair all formula options. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately, there are no oral medications (prescription or non) that will help him. The eye probably needs topical medications so you will have to catch him to even try. I would recommend offering him canned cat food so he can eat without much discomfort. If he eats the canned food, maybe you can use it to lure him into the trap. Good luck!

There is a syrup called terbutalin, it's also a bronchodilatator but it may be easier to give to her because it is liquid. it's a human product so it can be purchased in a normal pharmacy with a prescription.

Cats are extremely sensitive to flea medication, and it sounds like Alula is having a toxic reaction from licking it. This is a medical emergency, and she needs to see a vet right away. Please take her into an ER vet now.

The gabapentin is out of her system by now so I don't think the vomiting is from the drug. It could be from stress or a hairball. You can go ahead and give her the Laxatone. If she continues to vomit then call your vet.
