Hi, everyone. On June 26th I made a post about how my kitten (four months old) seemed to have a long piece of human hair coming out of his behind (twice in the same day, once after he’d tried to use the bathroom, resulting in it being stuck to him). Since then, I’ve begun to worry about how much of my hair he might’ve consumed and whether or not it may have caused an obstruction. I’ve tried googling it a bit, some of the symptoms include vomiting, unable to use the bathroom, lethargy, and swollen/hard stomach.
He doesn’t seem lethargic, he plays pretty much as normal. He hasn’t vomited. It is hard to keep track of if/when he used the bathroom as I have three cats. I’ve felt his stomach and i don’t know what qualifies as “swollen/hard.” It doesn’t seem too hard or swollen but I’m no professional. He still eats eagerly whenever I fill the food bowls. I also haven’t noticed anymore long hairs hanging out of him.
I guess my question is, how long until I’m in the clear looking for warning signs? It’s been nine days since the hair eating incident. I’ve been anxious about it ever since but I get anxious about quite literally everything involving my pets. If anyone has any advice, please let me know!
