What happens if a rabbit eats hair?
Eating some of its own hair is usually fine, as coarse fiber carries it out, but weak gut or too much hair can form a blockage called a hairball that may be fatal. Feed hay and use hairball paste.
Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry

My cat keeps wanting to vomit and now has a bit of a cough
Frequent retching can be hairballs, gastroenteritis, indigestion, or stress. Give hairball paste and cat grass; for stress, soothe and give probiotics. If it persists, see a vet.
My cat was normal but has vomited once a day for several days.

What should I do if my cat keeps going to the litter box but can’t pass stool or urine?
Constant litter-box trips usually mean a urinary blockage or constipation. If it can't urinate, causes include infection, stones, FIC, or tumors—needs imaging and urine tests. If constipated, try more water, yogurt, honey, or hairball paste; severe cases may need lactulose.
My cat vomits no matter how much food I give; how to treat?
Frequent vomiting may be hairballs, gastritis/ulcer, parasites, pancreatitis, kidney/liver disease, blockage, or food. Try a hypoallergenic diet and probiotics; hairball paste if fur in vomit; deworm; see a vet if with diarrhea or lethargy.
My cat vomited undigested food three times this week but is otherwise fine
Repeated food vomiting may be hairballs, chronic gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites. Give hairball paste and probiotics, remove small objects, and see a vet if it persists.

Vomiting with normal appetite may come from eating too fast or hairballs. Use a slow-feeder and feed small, frequent meals; for hairballs, give hairball paste or cat grass.
My cat won’t eat or drink, keeps retching, and is very weak
Not eating, retching, and weakness can come from diet, hairballs, or respiratory infection; serious diseases like panleukopenia also fit. Give probiotics or hairball paste for simple cases and see a vet if no relief.
My cat vomited repeatedly, hid, and now sleeps in its bed
Intermittent vomiting with hair in it suggests hairball syndrome. Try a hairball paste to help pass the fur; see a vet if no improvement.
