today my two year old Siamese had a poop hanging out of his bum by one of my hairs. My hair is over a foot long so i'm worried it could be wraped in his intestines. i got the poop of the hair but the hair is still sticking out of his bum. i was wondering is it is safe to pull the hair out of could that hurt him. This happens to my dog alot but the hair pushes out with the next poop.

I would just cut the piece of hair that is hanging out, and check his next bm. It shouldn't cause a problem, though.

Keep an eye on him ... likely it is hairball but it could be something like string which would call for a ER vet visit
