Wants to defecate but can’t; now there’s anal bleeding, watery blood — will hairball paste help?

After a dog accidentally eats hair, it may cause a gastrointestinal blockage. In this case, you can find ways to promote the dog’s intestinal peristalsis to help it expel the foreign object from its body. For example, the owner can feed the dog more fiber-rich foods, or give it some pet hairball paste.

If the dog has eaten only a small amount of hair, it can usually pass it on its own. If the dog still cannot expel the hair after taking hairball paste, it will need to be removed surgically.
