I've noticed Belle's scat has been dark and hard looking. At first, I wrote this off to the litter sucking out the moisture but today, I decided to put on a pair of gloves and break a few open to see what I could see. To my surprise, the inside of her scat was made up of fur.
Belle is fed either wet, raw or freeze dried raw and we always keep a dish of fresh water out for her. I don't see her drink very often.
I'm thinking the hair is normal. I brush her daily because she's shedding in this summer heat. She a short hair grey tabby and still get a good amount of fur when I brush her. We've had her nearly a year and have never seen her cough up a fur ball, nor have we found any around the house, so I don't think there's a problem. However, I'm wondering if there's something we can do to keep Belle regular and keep things from being a problem.
Belle has never missed the litterbox (except the time I took too long washing, drying and refilling the box).
Should I look into probiotics? Are there other things that would help? Or is this nothing to worry about?
Thanks!
