For those not familiar with hairball problems in ferrets.  The accumulation
of hair in the stoamch and throat can certainly cause your ferret to gag,
choke or vomit.  Unlike cats -- rarely will a ferret ever be able to expell
a hairball or hair by vomiting.  Please consider using a feline hairball
remedy on a regular basis form your ferret, especially during coat shedding
season.
