Cats, especially those with luxurious fur, lick themselves constantly.
However, the wool that gets into the stomachs of animals is not digested there.
Let's figure out what methods for removing foreign objects exist.
How to remove hair from the stomach
Let's start with the fact that the accumulation of hair in the stomach is dangerous because a real hairball can form there.
In this case, the cat may suddenly begin to refuse food, since the formation inside the stomach gives a false sense of satiety. Frequent and ineffective vomiting also indicates this.
In this case, the following will come to your aid:
- a herb for sprouting that irritates the esophagus and stomach and facilitates the process of getting rid of the hairball;
- specialized dry food, tablets and pastes.
Preventative measures can also help, including providing constant access to water, a balanced diet to prevent increased hair loss, and adding fiber-rich foods to the diet.
