If your ferret is constipated you might try Cat laxative or hairball remedy, also white Vaseline. Canned pumpkin (not canned pumpkin pie) can also be used. Just be aware that constipation in ferrets may be caused by stomach blockage and may require surgery

If your cat is having difficulty coughing up a hairball, you should take them to the vet immediately.
