hair ball?! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We have a six month old yorkie (Brady) and a six year old Aussie (Sukie). I just walked in the kitchen to find a hair ball on the kitchen floor (but we don't have a cat)! Sorry to be gross, but by the shape and size it was definately Brady who vomitted this hairy nasty item up.

Brady and Sukie cuddle all the time and I have seen them groom each other around their head and ears so I am not really surprised that they would ingest some hair but throwing up a hair ball! Arghh...Should I be concerned? Is this "normal"?

I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks

Sorry, my babies have never coughed up a hairball. They've thrown up other stuff though, Xena threw up a small lego once.

I wouldn't be too concerned but keep an eye out and see if it happens again. If it does I would call your vet and see if she's having digestion problems.
