[Dailydrool] Hairball

[Marilyn Briggs]

I am by no means an expert in this, so will just relay my personal experience. I have a basset with Addison's Disease. On occasion, he starts eating my plants, licking the floor, eating the carpet (yes, at my thresholds, which now have throw rugs over them) and then he pukes up plant leaves, hair, dust or whatever,  and carpet fibers. I have found if I catch it when he first starts and give him a GasX (the disolvable kind), he stops. Thinking it is an upset stomach but not sure if it is Addison's related. Usually when they eat grass and other things to make themselves throw up, they feel sick. I have a lot of house plants, and many philodendrons, and some of the ones down low where Buster can reach them are basically Buster's salad buffet.
