In the world of cat care, the law of cause and effect can be readily seen. While some cat owners shake their heads at the sight and sound of feline regurgitation, hairballs are part of the natural order of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hacking It Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A yellow, hair-covered pile of stomach bile is usually enough to turn most people\u2019s stomachs, and yet they are not entirely uncommon in homes shared by cats. From the terrible hacking and wheezing sounds, to the sticky mess left behind, it\u2019s normal to wonder if they are, in fact, normal. <strong style=\"color:#591f00;\">If you think your cat is experiencing hairballs too frequently, it might be time a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/services\/wellness-preventive-care.html\">pet wellness exam<\/a> from one of feline veterinarian specialists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequency and Intensity&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because hairballs are common, does it mean they are normal? Of course, when we apply the law of cause and effect it makes perfect sense that cats will hack up fur they cannot digest. However, that being said, it is important to know when hairballs signal something more serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read Between the Lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we know, cats enjoy a tidy appearance. They are famous for self-grooming. As a matter of consequence, when they lick their coats clean they naturally ingest loose or dead hairs. Because their tongue is covered in sharp little barbs that face back towards the throat, they have no choice but to swallow the fur. A small amount of fur can be moved through their GI tract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Long Trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A hairball is a blob of undigested fur that accumulates and forms in the stomach. Pushed out through the long esophagus, a hairball appears tube-like on the floor or ground. In addition to the fur, you might see partially digested food, grass, and digestive fluids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Hairballs Require Attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, hairballs remain in the stomach and grow too large to move, either through the mouth or via the digestive system. Hairballs can cause painful and serious gastrointestinal blockages that require immediate veterinary intervention. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/services\/surgery.html\">Emergency surgery<\/a> can remove the hairball in these rare instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Sixth Sense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats shed heavily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/spring-has-sprung-how-seasonal-changes-affect-pets\/\">during the fall and spring<\/a>. As a result, you might notice an increase of hairballs during these seasons. Long-haired cat breeds may also be more susceptible to seasonal hairballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasional hairballs once a month are okay, provided your cat doesn&#8217;t have other worrisome symptoms like inappetence, lethargy, or withdrawal. However, hairballs once a week or once every 2 weeks can be a sign of food allergies, atopy (environmental allergies) or IBD (irritable bowel disease).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, vomiting should not ever be accepted as a normal behavior. Because it is a symptom of so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/people-food-and-the-risks-of-pet-poisoning\/\">potential illnesses<\/a>, however, you might want to have your cat examined to rule out serious medical conditions if it seems to be happening more than normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing Hairballs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are ways to limit how much fur your cat swallows. Increase how often you brush out their coat. You can also schedule professional grooming sessions to keep them looking and feeling their best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some special diets and supplements can reduce shedding and fur ingestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s Going to Be Okay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any changes to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/services\/wellness-preventive-care.html\">cat\u2019s behavior, appearance or overall health<\/a> should be addressed without delay.
