Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Alfa may be experiencing some irritation or tickling in his throat from the hair. But a small amount of hair should not be enough to cause any significant problems, such as obstruction of the intestines. I recommend offering Alfa a small meal of his normal food to see if this helps move any hair along. He should have plenty of access to water too. I hope this is helpful!
