How do you treat a hairball?

  1. With antibiotics

  2. Feeding fresh pineapple using a syringe

  3. Cutting the fur short

  4. Increased exercise

The correct answer is: Feeding fresh pineapple using a syringe

Treating a hairball with antibiotics (A) is not recommended as hairballs are not caused by bacteria. Antibiotics should only be used to treat bacterial infections. Cutting the fur short (C) may help prevent future hairballs, but it does not treat an existing one. Increased exercise (D) can help prevent hairballs, but it is not an effective treatment once a hairball has formed. Feeding fresh pineapple using a syringe (B) is the best way to treat a hairball. The enzymes in pineapple help break down the hairball making it easier for your cat to pass naturally.
