Nikki, who is 2.5 years old and weighs just 4 lbs, was rushed to the vet a few
weeks ago, and after 2 blood transfusions, emergency surgery, and 25 staples in
his little tummy, it was discovered that he had a hairball the size of my
little finger! He stayed at the vet's for a total of 4 days. Yes, he does lick
himself a lot and we do have two Samoyeds with long hair. Has anyone else had
this problem? Our vet suggested giving him a dab - like 1 mil - of olive oil
every once in a while to help move things along in his tummy. He is fine now,
back to his normal self of protecting Mom and trying to put the Sammies, one of
whom is 45 lbs, the other is 65 lbs, in their place which he does very well,
thank you. On the other hand, it could be the Sammies just ignore him!
