Hairballs or trichobezoars (the technical name for them) are common in our domestic feline friends. I have also seen them in rabbits. In fact, they can occur in any animal that grooms themselves. Most animals pass these or bring them back up, and if you are a cat owner, you know it's usually on your light colored carpets.
Thankfully, they very rarely cause an obstruction but at times we do need to remove them surgically.
This is a surgery I would've loved to have been in on....
