dog has hairball stuck in throat
The dog canât cough up the hairball! Sometimes a hairball gets too big. It gets stuck in the dogâs throat, or in the intestines. A stuck hairball starts to ferment, which releases potentially dangerous chemicals.emperature, loss of appetite, bloating, loss of weight, etc. can be symptoms of a stuck hairball, but the main indicator would be the dogâs unsuccessful efforts to upchuck the hairball. Having the dog swallow some petroleum jelly often helps with hairballs stuck in the throat.
