This is going to sound strange, but there has been 3 times now since feeding raw that my dogs have puked up a hairball type thing.
Cesar was the first a few months after being on raw he randomly puked up a HUGE, solid wad of hair (not fur) it was pretty dang solid mostly hair with bits of plastic, string, grass, and twigs in it.
it was about 12 inches long by about 2 inches thick (yeh it was huge) plus it REEKED! it stunk like poop mixed with hot garbage, i picked it apart and thru it away.
second time was a few months after that, again he puked up a wad of hair with bits of other stuff in it stinking, no meat or bones inside, but it was about half the size.
2 days ago Chimera also randomly uked up a stinky hair ball with bits of rocks, string and even a twist tie. hers stunk and was about as big as Cesars first one 12 inches long by about 2 inches thick, it was HUGE! picked thru to find no meat or bones.
Im starting to wonder if this is the bodies way of collecting and expelling all that nasty bits of junk they eat into a ball then once it becomes too big pukes it up. due to the smell im imagining its been setting in the stomach for QUITE some time, not to mention the sheer SIZE of them, because i would OBVIOUSLY notice someone eating a giant wad of hair every once in a while.
so has anyone elses dogs ever puked up somthing like this?? and also what do you all think about it?
