Furballs??????

If Lily was a cat I would swear she has furballs. When she cleans herself she is hacking all the time like a choking noise and I sometimes think she is going to be sick . I have never noticed this with previous dogs I have had - does anyone else have any experience of this.

Not something I have noticed with Moo Xx

Dempsey doesn't really clean himself unless he has something disgusting on him that's worth him licking!

Lexi is the same, i thnk she tried to lick her lady area once but she farted and distracted herself.

I know what you mean. She cleans her paws - could be she has stepped in something disgusting.

I don't think Lily could reach her lady area if she tried

Daisy makes an array of strange noises but nothing like that, sorry

Nope no hair ball yacking here

Not here either!

Not something I have come across.

Kuchar does make a sort of grunting noise (it's kinda cute actually) when he's licking at various bits of himself, but he doesn't actually yack.

Now I am wondering if she has got something wrong with her. I might ring the vet helpline attached to her insurance

I know it sounds a daft questions but could it be the collar digging in when she turns to clean herself? Chiquito often sounds like he is hacking a hairball due to collar strangulation issues, but that is about the only time I hear anything like that ....
