Well, if the hair ball is making the dog feel unwell it is best you take it to the vet 'cos you might harm it if you do it your self. And if you ARE a vet then I can't help you.

My cat has a hairball and won't let it out what will make him cough it up?

Will vaseline on the roof of your cats mouth help bring up a hairball?

Probably not, although it may help make your cat hate you and gag a lot. The hairball is lodged in the cat's stomach, so he is basically trying to throw up a wad of hair. Vaseline, or any petroleum jelly product, in the cat's mouth will just be a distraction that your cat will not thank you for.
