My sixteen year old dachshund actually coughed up a mass of fur this morning. He has developed a habit of licking the couch cover and the rug and is obviously swallowing the hair he picks up. This was no spitting of hair out of his mouth this was from his stomach. I called my vet who advised half a teaspoon of liquid paraffin to be mixed with his food to help the contents of his stomach pass smoothly.
Five years ago he ate sand on the beach and spent a night at a vets being dosed with liquid paraffin.
Hope this helps.
