A couple of my kids are prone to coughing if I don't give them a few licks
of ferretlax once a week. In fact, our littlest (not youngest) girl is
prone to hairballs, but usually when she starts coughing I know it's time to
give her a bit more. But with both of the kids who do this, the coughing
(in our case!) clears right up.

About a week ago pixie was coughing and I gave her lax. The next day I
noticed poop with bedding fuzz in it! And I know it was bedding fuzz
because the hammock (store bought) has a fuzzy, fake fleecy lining that's
red, and the fuzzball in her poo was red and obviously from the lining.
