I have a 7 mo baby girl, who just inhaled a cat hairball about this long xxxxxxxxxx (10 characters or an inch). About the size of one of her poop pieces.

IF the cat spits them up 'cause they don't want it in them -- yikes? Will it block my yorkie or clog her up? I recall the vet telling me once they can get blockages w/little twigs/leaves/grass.... She sucked it up so fast i have no idea if it was all hair or hair/pluscat food mixed.

Anyone have this happen to them? Will it get digested or passed at 7 months 5 lbs?
