How to clear the hair balls in the cat’s intestinal tract that are blocked?

1. Analysis of symptoms of cat hair balls

1. Where did the hair ball come from?

The source of the hair balls in the cat’s digestive tract is the large amount of body hair that the cat eats when grooming itself. When the hair balls cannot pass through the digestive tract or are decomposed, a major obstacle in the digestive tract is formed. The natural reaction of the body is to spit out the hair balls.

2. Hair balls block the intestines

If a cat is unable to spit out the hairballs, it will develop what is called hairball syndrome. Many hairballs block the digestive tract and become large and hard in the intestines.

3. Severe cases require surgery

Severe cases may cause lack of energy and loss of appetite, which may require surgery. This may lead to more complications, such as intestinal infarction, intestinal superposition and other intestinal diseases.

4. The probability of long-haired cats is high

Don’t think that short-haired cats don’t have hair ball problems. Cats that love to be clean and are used to grooming themselves are likely to suffer from hair ball syndrome. Of course, compared to long-haired cats, short-haired cats are much less likely to suffer from hairballs.
