Chronic constipation and a general "fat" or "full" feeling in your dog could indicate hairball in digestive system. Your dog will also show less interest in eating and general lethargy as the hairball grows. Hairballs can be diagnosed by your vet with the help ofX-ray. The doctor can sometimes surgically remove the hairball mass but if your dog is prone to this sort of buildup it will likely recur unless you change your grooming habits with your dog. Hair needs to be trimmed back away from his mouth and his coat needs to be brushed more often to remove loose hairs before he ingests them.
