Tasha my 15 month old female has been having hair in her poops for a month or so. She has been getting petmalt daily. She passed a major hairball this past Wednesday. I have been consulting a vet the whole time. She did x-rays and couldn't feel a lump prior to her passing the hairball. Fearing a complete blockage vet did surgery this past Sat. She couldn't find anything. She came home Sunday and want's to run. She is on cage rest until her stitches come out. She doesn't realize she had a major operation. I have never delt with hairballs before. I have 5 other babies. My vet is on vacation this week, so I can't call her. Now finally my question :) Is it normal for her to be still passing small amounts of hair? I found some in todays potty. She is eating and drinking good. She even ate the ad diet with no problems. She even likes the amoxicilin. They said to watch for tarry stools. Hers are a little off color but not tarry. They looks sorta like petamalt color at times. She just went back on regular food today, so I thought it would take a few days to return to normal. Am I being paranoid ? Anyone else ever have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the FHL and kept getting error message. Thanks Eileen http://community.webtv.net/hjdom/WelcometoHollys [Posted in FML issue 4077]
