How on God’s green earth was that cat still processing food???? His stomach was literally full of fur????
I'm completely shocked he wasn't showing any signs of anything being wrong!
@@stacyramsey I know! I was expecting the lady to say he's been not pooping or has been throwing up, because usually that's what happens if something like that clogs up a critter's guts! This cat has superpowers.
@@aquabluerose7734 Exactly! Cats are some amazing stoic creatures! ❤
Nature always finds a way

So glad that Clare did take Scott's advice and got her baby clipped. He still looks gorgeous. Nice that she left his facial fur alone.
A good lion cut leaves the face and a "mane". We had a Persian who refused to allow brushing, so we got her in a lion cut every 4-6 months. She loved waking up to her fresh new 'do. She was a "shorthair cat trapped in a longhair's body". We knew when we brought her home as a baby that she would need LOTS of maintenance, but from the start, she was a screaming, spitting, biting hellion as soon as a brush touched her body, even when she had NO mats. So, it was just less stressful on us and her to get her a haircut a couple of times a year than to put her through the battle of the brush. Our other Persians and even shorter haired cats LOVE the comb and brush, but not her, no matter what. Just the sight of grooming tools sent her into a frenzy. Oh well, we do what we need to do to keep them happy and if a pretty lion cut made her feel good... then we felt good doing it for her. (Kepler Marie, 1992-2005)
I love the way you tuck the sleepy animals in after surgery with a blanket.
Good luck with your email and your mom and dad are coming to be a hot tub and see you tomorrow at the
@Linda.
It really does make a significant difference when the animals are waking up
@@justcallmejessz3712 The anesthetic makes them not be able to regulate their body temp properly. They need to be kept warm until they recover. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 I know. Especially cats! I think being smuggled up in blankets make them feel safer as well. Kinda like a little kid. If they cant see us, we cant see them. LoL.
We had a LoooooooooNG conversation with some of the post OP volunteers at the shelter. Like most shelters the post op isn't as.... comfy forward. We found out they would rarely have warm blankets, just thin dinky towels, or even disposables. The only reasoning was easier clean up. With the volume of procedures done it wasn't surprising. But we were surprised they were never told about it not just being about comfort.
@@lesliegailey4239 what-
Shorter fur may also help with his asthma....A good groomer can help with the excess fur as well. It's amazing what they can get out with just a de-shedding bath treatment.
Friends of mine have 2 Maine Coons and its actuakky hard to find a groomer who will,do cats here in western Washington state.
I used to get my big boy a lion shave. He looked ridiculous but it kept his rear end clean, him cooler, kept the house cleaner and prevented hair balls. We both loved it.
I do my own de-shed bath treatments on my cats and dogs. I can't believe how much hair comes out of them, and they're all shorthaired animals. They're so much happier when it's done, and no hair in the house. (Jan Griffiths).
@@lindamulhall1055 Arizona is just as difficult. The only person we’ve found was our vet tech.
@@loiscassels8966 That didn't keep him cooler. Long haired breeds get hot when they're shaved. They're double coated so the undercoat traps cool air in pockets. It's a misconception that shaving a double coated animal keeps them cooler.
It's heartbreaking what happened to that ladies poor dogs 😥🐾

Horrible 😭 how could you Australia???
@@msjaffacake :!!!!!!! It’s :
I live on the west coast of Vancouver island and rogue waves are horrible. One swept out a 5 year old guest at a hotel I worked at :(
@@igor-yp1xv what?
"Oh my god, look at that thing!" has gotta be the last thing you want to hear from any kind of medical professional :D
It is indeed.
Ikr..He doesn't sound professional.
It’s something we’ve said at some point in our careers just not in front of people
@@lokanayagi1293 as a nurse sometimes the unprofessional things just slip out. For example I had some go into rapid AF right in front of me, first thing that slipped out was Oh Sh*t
Have you seen the episode with warts in dog's mouth? There was a lot of amazement.
Take the cat to a groomer regularly for his own good. He’s gorgeous .
He is!
With Chip's age and breed a bit of a trim was definitely warranted. Chip is still a beautiful cat and I think he will be feeling a lot better. That hairball was huge and gross. Even Dr. Scott had a gag moment. 💗💗🐾🐾
Yeah and dr. Scott said that he never saw the full hairball from gut in his entire life of 20 years his career lol he's almost york while the surgery. He is great doctor 💪💪
I had to keep Spunky clipped because his fur matted terribly when long. He looked and felt better.
@@janetmiller9215 I have two. Both short hair and their fur is kinda coarse. Shed a lot though..
When I called to find groomer after we moved I was asking whether a groomer could leave a quarter or half inch of fur. One yelled, "Omg, you had him (Spunky) shaved by a vet! They use a surgical blade (leaving no fur at all)! Don't you dare do that again to that poor cat!'
She was a great groomer, always kind to Spunky and made him look perfect. I 😽😺🐈
That is one of the reasons why I comb all my animals daily on the veranda. I do a manual flea and tick check, take away excess hair, and it keeps our home cleaner.
Amen to that!
What do you use to comb
@@karenhorton2345 my very favorite flea comb is a metal one from Publix Supermarkets. $5. It is far superior to any other one I have ever used. You must be cautious going near the spine with the metal.
Poor guy, can’t imagine how extremely uncomfortable that must be day in and day out
She should give him some cat grass to chew as well, it really helps with fur balls. Daily combing is also recommended, maybe do 2-3 times a day during shedding season 😊
Good to know
A de-shed bath would work wonders for this cat during the shedding season. I do all of mine in the spring. Even short haired animals benefit as well. It feels good to get all that dead undercoat out, and no hair in the house. As soon as they start blowing their coats, it's bath time. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 The last time I bathed a cat I even had scratches on my BACK!
@@eph2vv89only1way Next time you bathe a cat, clip his nails first. Don't put the water too deep---this panics the cat. 2 or 3 inches is enough. I use a spray attachment to wet the cat down, and don't get their face wet. I wash their face with a washcloth (gently). The worst thing my cats do is make a lot of noise for a couple of minutes. Then they accept it. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 It probably didn’t help that the reason I was bathing the cat was that she had spilled paint thinner on herself (Idiot then husband had thought it would be safe leaving it open on a chair 🙄) then got high licking it off of herself. I was bathing it off of her while waiting for my ride to the emergency vet at 6 am
So important to brush your cats. Especially long haired. I have a Norwegian forest and the boy has to be combed twice daily thoroughly. Twice a week with a fine tooth to get deep into the undercoat. He also gets special food for digestion to avoid hairballs. It's so worth it. He loves it. He's happy. I'm happy. Healthy boy = happy boy.
You know the first meal he had felt totally weird in his tummy
And the first drink of water too. Kind of like after I spend a couple of hours gardening and come in for a giant glug if iced-water/tea. You can literally feel it kind of draining from your throat into your stomach If you know what I am saying.
Oh my god it looks like a dead rat! Or like soggy cardboard! That’s so much in that poor little cat. Poor thing. Hopefully he recovers! His fur is so beautiful too
A family of mice.
The cat is massive
@@flower_person1398 yeah but compared to the hair Ball he's quite small
That’s exactly what 🤮 hair balls looks like, dead rats.
I gave my chinchilla Persian I gave her olive oil and brushed each day no trouble she lived to nearly 17 years.
The fact that you were able to get that fur ball out of the cat’s stomach is just amazing and I am so happy that his life will turn out longer
I’ve seen her on multiple episodes. She had to deliver her dogs puppies alone and then he finally came over to help her!
I would imagine that his appetite has improved.
Chip has such massive feet, I'd love to see his toe beans.
🐾
Love toe beans!😍😍😍
You could never go wrong with big toe beans 🐾
Toe beans!!!! 😸lol he was a derpy bean well he was still knocked out 😂 glad he survived the surgery :]
TOE BEEEEEEEEAAANNNNNS!
What a great owner and vet. Nice to see a good vet and a owner who actually listens to her doctor because of trust and the love she has for her cat. Respect
Holy mother of Hairballs!!! That's huge!!!
😄
That was amazing the size of that hair ball. I am surprised he wasn’t showing any symptoms of a stomach blockage.
How did he eat and, go to the bathroom.
He is a beautiful cat.
I don’t understand how the cat was able to eat and digest food with that disgusting gargantuan mass of fur in its stomach!🤮Poor kitty!😢
That was the first thing I asked myself!
Right?! Hea gonna feel and digest so much better!
Sally I totally agree, he had to have been feeling horrible, poor cat.
He's probably been barfing and they didn't say.
@@thebluehotel426 And extremely dehydrated.
I kept thinking 'BRUSH HIM WHILE HES STILL SLEEPY!' get some of that extra hair off! 😂
That must be at least 3-4 years of fur in his stomach
How did he digest food?
@@marp4735 Took the words out of my mouth!
I have a Maine Coon who *never* had a single hairball for the first five years of his life. Then one day he coughed up a 6 inch long hairball (it was so gross omg) . Now he has them fairly regularly.
Worms were still the nastiest thing he ever threw up.
Was there anything that you or him did differently to make him cough up his hair ball..?
Bless him, poor little darling, that must of been so unfortunately uncomfortable bless his little heart 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
She is laughing but that is what happens when you dont take them to the groomer or brush regularly to remove all his dead fur
So how do all the wild cats not die?
Yeah I don’t understand why she didn’t want to cut his fur at first...
@@Ryan-re1rs they naturally shed from their daily activities.
My cat hates it when I brush her, she whines like I'm abusing her but I know if I dont then she will have a lot of problems, grooming their hair and also getting their nails cut at least every 2 months will help them so much
Even Scott died laughing at the "I'll brush him more". It's really the type of fur. It doesn't matter what she does, the only solution is to keep him shaved : / poor dude!
The look on chips face it’s just priceless when he’s under anesthetic
the tongue will always stick out when any animal is under anesthesia lol
I don't mind surgery videos, blood, amputations, but this almost made me gag, ew :D Worse than cleaning a sink drain :D
Seriously! I love pimple popping and stuff, but this made my stomach turn.
Laughed when Scott started gagging! It must have been nasty.
It was almost like a giant poo but made of hair
Imagine finding that at the bottom of your custard.
This is one of my favourite cases, Scott is immensely funny, the owner is lovely and their rapport is delightful. Very happy that Chip was okay and that Claire followed Scott's recommendation.
The BIGGEST hairball I’ve seen with 30 years of multiple home kitties!!!!!!
most cats have shiny hair that doesn't mat up ... a few are like this one .. doesn't have a shine to it and needs brushed out all the time...
I just Love him so much. Specially the way he treat and care about all single animal.
I had a scare with my own cat recently. He wouldn’t eat, drink, or use the litter box for almost 2 days. X-rays showed his intestines were all bunched up. There was a chance he’d need a $1,500 USD surgery.
Thankfully I switched him to wet food and he’s doing much better
We had an Angora bunny many years back and regularly gave them a chewable tablet. It was made from Pineapple juice I think. It would dissolve the fur balls, actually digest them. I think it was called Papain if I am remembering correctly, 30 years later.
He looks good with that cut and it’ll definitely be better for him even if the first hair ball was made over years
Take him to a good groomer, they can put him in a lion clip - which is cute and kind of hilarious.
i do love me some lion kitties with their little fur boots!
Hairball treatment and 2x monthly deshedding grooming (with a professional) would help. Judging by her living situation she should be able to afford that for him
A giant ball of fur can be a gigantic inconvenience... thank goodness there are the veterinarian angels to take care of the furry ones, thank you for your existence...
I love that the click bait looks nothing like what he actually found
Poor Chip! What a sweet, gentle and smart elderly gentleman he is. He’s just magnificent isn’t he! So happy to see he was well taken care of and doing well back in his home. It’s absolutely heartbreaking that this kind woman lost two of her family members. And to a freak accident that nobody would have ever known was a possibility. I can not imagine! I don’t want to imagine! My sweet Kevin is such a HUGE part of my life. We spend all day every day together and whenever I have had to leave for any length of time I miss him terribly. He has traveled over 1,500 miles across the country with us to our new home and was an absolute champ during the 4 days of driving and multiple hotel stays along the way. He made the long hours in the truck SO much better! Our animal family members are so precious!
Had a cat like Chip. He loved his annual shave. Adored being petted afterwards
Matt the Cat was left fed, but ungroomed for nearly a year while I was in the hospital and in rehab after surgery. almost 7 months after I returned home Matt quit eating, he had previously coughed up some big hairballs, but now couldn't, & couldn't poop. He began panting and was miserable. I was scared when he sought out a secluded place to hide & was afraid he was dying. A trip to the ER Vet Clinic & some x-rays found stomach was empty but lower intestine & colon was filled with impacted hairballs.
An ovrnite stay with kitty enemas every 4 hours loosened up it all so it could be removed & saved his life. He's now at home, wearing the cone of shame and getting growled at by the 2 kitties he raised from tiny kittens.
I've already brushed enough from him to make another cat, but it looks like a short hair trim is what may be in his immediate future,.
So glad Chip is okay, what a beautiful cat.... I love Cat's
I SWEAR THAT CAT LOOKS RELIEVED AND PERKIER AFTER THE SURGERY! WOW GOOD JOB
it's so odd seeing a 12 year old cat that actually looks "old". my cat is gonna be 15 this year and she's the most lively cat ever. she looks and acts like a 4 year old cat.
It could be because it had all those years of fur in his stomach.
12 is not really that old for a cat. My cat lived to 20.
@@8ofwands300 well i mean, it's still considered a "senior"
This precious furbaby's eyes tell the story!
He handled that whole situation like a champ!
From my own experience with Our Cats, over the years. We BRUSH several times daily. Plus, we give them fur ball gel regularly. This works a treat and NO More Fur Balls!!!
That face at 7:44 lol.🤪 Poor baby. That had to hurt. I can't believe he had all that gunk in his tummy.
Biggest hair ball ever “I’m not convinced by this”
I had a cat like that and I brushed him everyday, he was such a beautiful baby, you really have to make sure you groom them well
That hairball had an ENTITY of it's own. LOL.
Cotton Candy
That hairball was big enough for its own zip code. (Jan Griffiths).
I feel soo bad for that cute little cat 🥺💓
Awh such a handsome floof! The vet is gorgeous too 🥰
Chip is a gorgeous cat & so mellow too. I can’t believe how good he was through the entire process. I was shocked when he removed what he found. I have had long haired cats & they really hate being brushed. I wondered how a cat could digest that hair. I will never forget this. I will be sure to buy products to aid in the digestion. My eldest cat passed away from old age. She was about 25 years old. She was a rescue with a tortoise color. She was full grown at 2 years old. She was a big cat. Not as big as Chip. She loved to get brushed but not so much as she got older. She loved her pillows. I wish Chip a very long life.
I just love Claire!! I'm so glad it wasn't bad news for her about her kitty! She's been through enough losing her other two babies!! 😥💞
Omg so pleased Chip is ok. He's absolutely gorgeous!
I'm so happy for Chip, thank God it was nothing serious. Thank you vet, great job.God bless vet, and Chip, way to go!!
Vets are special and gifted people. They tuck the pets in like a human baby and look out for them to make sure they wake up from anaesthetic after surgery
I have a Himalayan Persian and I shave her with a lion cut every summer for many reasons and she's so cute. I much prefer her shaved but do keep her coat longer in the winter for that warmth as she does like to go out for fresh air in the snow
The damn fur helps regulate and keep the cat cool too in the summer, do NOT shave it all off if you want that your cat is able to regulate the temperature! Ffs
Wow. The cat was paralyzed by how relaxed the stomach was after the fur ball was removed.
Oh my god that hair ball blew my mind I could only imagine the smell of it when Dr Scott and Nathan both coughed an gaged a bit that was crazy thankfully she cut some of that hair off him
Thank you for a helping a cat 🥰🥰🥰
Holy cow! I' think that had to be the world's biggest hairball ever! Good job! Hairballs can be quite dangerous if they aren't passed - as is evident in this case.
I love how they take instant decision without wasting any time ❤️
Chip looks lovely with his new hair do.
what a cute cat, and he’s HUGE! the owner was so funny, i can understand not wanting her baby clipped, but he still looked so handsome after! i can’t believe the amount of fur in his stomach- i don’t even know how he was still eating normally and able to process the food. the body is insane, human or animal.
I love Chip!! So handsome and, he winks...
Such a handsome boy! I love his fur! Great job Doc!
This episode made me go brush my cats.
same 😂😂
Gives a new meaning to "I am not heavy, its just fur!"
I loved the lion cut I had to give my cat. My poor little girl neighbors cried when they first saw him thinking he had cancer. Once convinced he was not sick they loved it too. It helped that he was an orange tabby.
Claire is one of my favorite pet owners on this show. She Liz and Ali are awesome.
Oh dear lord Chip! That was insane. Poor pretty kitty ❤️
Thanks to the doc for sure. God Bless Scott
Thank you for your channel bc I learn so much from all of you which only helps me in my animal world!
I shaved down my old boy (16yrs) and he was so much happier. Plus he looked cute with a lion cut.
You know it’s putrid when the vet nearly tosses his cookies 🤢🤮
His eyes even look brighter!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Chip is so handsome. I love how all furbabys are well taken care of. You guys rock.
That hairball was huge!
I hate hearing that the other dog wasn’t able to be saved by the random wave. That’s so heartbreaking 💔 😢
I think in another video it was said that the wave swept them all out. She almost drowned too. Only she and the bigger dog made it out.
The 2 small ones didn’t make it, unfortunately.
BEAUTIFUL CAT, CHIP LOOKS HANDSOME WITH HIS NEW DO
OMG that's literally my DREAM cat, he's so ADORABLE
Always learn from these videos. TH-cam stop blurring, the adverts on daily television are more more intimate and for some, they can turn they eyes away.
I've been looking for this episode a few months ago i finally found the unusual fur ball in stomach problem in a cat.
Seen the flashback but not the episode. 👍
Wonderful Doctor ,cat,and owner
Bless you Doctor
Wowzers. You weren't kidding. So glad it was something so easy to sort out. 👍👍👍👌👌👌😁😁😁
This is why daily grooming is important especially on long haired cat 😫
I just wonder how kitty didn't cough up any of that. That's gotta be a few YEARS of fur
Chip is the most agreeable cat there is.
Vets are the best doctors on Earth.
Wow! Imagine caring about aesthetics over a life.
Yeah, but its clearly scripted, AND she cut the cats hair, so....
I can honestly say that none of my vets have ever greeted me with a kiss!!!
😂
When you're more concerned with how your cat looks than its health. Good lord.
Gosh, he's very docile! And that hairball was like the size of another small cat!!
That's maine coons for you! Super fluffy, giant teddies!
We have a lovely, 13 year old Maine Coon who goes by the very fitting moniker of Church (yes, he's a ringer for the one in Pet Semetary), but, surprised that neither Dr or nurse wore a mask during surgery? Odd.
This was a really good episode
I can just imagine the smell of that thing through the screen! It just kept coming! Poor kitty bubba, glad it wasn't more serious.
Omg wow I am so glad he is good!! He is a good boy and very loved Great work Dr!!!
