If a cat eats thread, you can do the following emergency measures: First, if the cat has just eaten thread, the owner can open the cat’s mouth and check to see if there is any excess thread. If there is, use tweezers or hands to remove it. The thread is slowly pulled out. Second, if the thread is not visible, the owner can also induce vomiting on the cat first to see if the thread can be vomited out. If the cat has eaten the thread for a long time and has symptoms such as frothing, not eating or drinking, and being depressed, you need to go to the pet hospital for examination immediately and consider surgical removal.
1. Pull the thread out directly
When the owner finds that the cat has swallowed the thread, he can check the cat's mouth to see if there is any excess thread exposed in the mouth. If there is still a lot that has not been swallowed, you can try to use tweezers or your hands to gently pull out the thread. But if it has been swallowed into the intestines, the possibility of taking it out is relatively low.
2. Inducing vomiting
If the cat eats less threads and does not show other abnormal symptoms, the owner can induce vomiting by feeding the cat 20-50 ml of hydrogen peroxide, paying attention to the amount of hydrogen peroxide. It needs to be done slowly, not too fast, otherwise the cat will easily choke. Generally, cats will start vomiting within 10 minutes. In addition, if conditions permit, it is still recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital to induce vomiting, and it will be fine if the cat vomits it out.
3. Surgical removal
If the cat has eaten the thread for a long time and has symptoms such as frothing, not eating or drinking, and being depressed, then it cannot be delayed any longer. , it is recommended to send the cat to the pet hospital immediately for examination to confirm the location of the thread, and then perform surgery to remove the thread to prevent the thread from getting entangled and cutting the intestines.
