First of all, the owner should pay attention to the cat’s feces. The cat may excrete foreign matter. If the foreign body does not appear within 48 hours, it is still in the cat’s intestines and stomach. If it is a sharp or toxic foreign body, it is very dangerous. At the same time, the foreign body enters the cat. Different parts of the body will cause different manifestations of cats. As the cat moves, foreign objects will also move and enter deeper into the digestive system. This is very dangerous for cats. The owner must seek medical advice as soon as possible and take a B-ultrasound. Do not use gravity. Shake or induce vomiting to avoid secondary injury

1. There are swallowed foreign bodies in the cat’s feces. The foreign bodies are excreted with the feces, and the cat does not obviously feel the foreign body damage.

The type, size and location of the foreign body the cat swallows often determine the cat’s reaction. Foreign bodies that are not sharp in shape or large in size may enter the cat’s digestive tract and may gradually pass through the digestive tract along with the peristalsis and feces. Excreted from the body. In this case, the cat's symptoms are mild. The owner needs to carefully observe the cat's feces, and if necessary, clean the cat's feces to observe whether it is completely excreted. This situation is an ideal situation. Owners should not take it lightly and think that there is no harm to the cat. In order to avoid the occurrence of infection, they should still take it to a pet hospital for medical treatment, take X-rays or use an endoscope to diagnose the condition.

2. No foreign matter was found in the cat’s feces, and the foreign matter may still exist in the cat’s digestive tract.

The foreign body exists in the cat’s digestive tract, but does not cause obvious irritation to the cat, and the cat will not have an obvious reaction. In this case, the owner needs to send the cat to the hospital in time and observe the location of the foreign body through X-ray and other means. Different handling methods are adopted according to the location of the foreign object. If the foreign body is at the end of the digestive tract and there is no obstruction in the intestine, intestinal easing drugs (such as pet sugar) are generally used to help the cat expel the foreign body on its own. However, if the blocked area is difficult to expel on its own, surgery is usually performed to remove the foreign body. .

In short, if a cat has swallowed a foreign body, it is best to consult a pet doctor immediately, determine the type and size of the foreign body through X-rays and other means, and formulate a corresponding treatment plan. Waiting may miss the golden treatment time
