After a cat eats plastic wrap, the owner needs to closely observe the cat’s mental state and feces. First of all, if the plastic wrapper the cat eats is very small, and the mental state is not abnormal, it will usually be excreted with the feces within 2 days or the cat will vomit it out on its own, so the owner does not need to worry too much. However, if it has not been discharged after the time limit, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for a DR examination as soon as possible, and then surgically remove the plastic bag after the location of the plastic bag is clear. Secondly, if the cat has eaten a large amount of plastic wrappers and is discovered in time, it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for vomiting treatment in time to avoid blocking the cat’s digestive tract and causing serious consequences.
1. If the cat eats very few plastic wrappers and the cat’s energy and appetite are relatively good, then you can feed the cat some probiotics to promote gastrointestinal motility and check to see if the cat has wrapped any plastic wrappers. Paper is ejected. As long as the cat has no other abnormal symptoms, it can usually vomit or pass the plastic wrapper on its own within 1-2 days, so the owner does not need to worry too much.
2. If the cat has not excreted the foreign body after eating the plastic wrapper for two days, the owner should take the cat to the pet hospital for X-ray examination in time to clarify the location of the plastic wrapper. If the plastic wrapper is still in the stomach, you should use the method of inducing vomiting to make the cat spit out the plastic. If the plastic is already in the intestines and blocking the intestines, you need to perform surgery to remove the plastic as soon as possible.
3. If the cat eats a lot of plastic wrappers and is in a very bad mental state, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and perform vomiting, enema or surgical removal.
Note: Owners should always pay attention to packing away small toys and small items at home to prevent cats from accidentally eating them. If a cat always eats some strange things, it may be a typical symptom of "pica", and the owner needs to supplement the cat with additional trace elements.
