Hi There,

If this were my kitty, I would take him in for an exam and possibly an x-ray. Complete hairball obstructions are actually pretty uncommon, but a partial obstruction can be present without a cat being very ill. I would also consider having a blood panel done, which may sound extreme, but you don't know what your kitty may have ingested along with the grass he ate. I would not let him eat grass in the future.

I doubt that worms are his problem, so I personally would have skipped taking a stool sample in. Even if he does have some kind of parasite, it doesn't explain all his symptoms. Besides, cats that have parasites often have no symptoms at all.

Regards,
PHKitkat
