Earlier today I noticed a long piece of hair (obviously mine) hanging from one of our cats butts. He has a habit of trying to eat any hair that’s laying around and since I have very long hair, there’s pretty much bound to always be hair on the carpet.
Without thinking I instinctively pulled the hair out. I instantly realized that this was a mistake and that I should’ve cut it and it pass on its own.
However I can’t change what I’ve already done it seems like the entire hair is out but he did give a little squeal as the other end came out. I’m not sure if it actually hurt him or if he was just annoyed with me holding him. Afterwards he immediately went to eat from his bowl and seems normal.
My question is essentially could any damage have been done and what are symptoms I might need to watch out for? Like I said it seems like the whole hair is out but could it still have caused some sort of damage? I’m very paranoid about these things and I regret pulling it although some sites say a gentle pull is okay.
