Sorry, afjess, I know you are worried. A kitten will be more likely to have problems than an adult cat. You took such good care of the kitties you found in the attic. My cats got into chicken bones that I left out, and I was so worried, but it all was fine. Cats are amazing and adaptable creatures. I am sure the kitty will be ok. Keep us posted because I am sure others, as I do, feel like we know your cats.

not true at all..... I see adult cats with foreign bodies and kittens as well. There is no rhyme or reason with age.

it has NOTHING to do with how adaptable they are. I lucked out as my "kittens" ate something she should not have.... one passed it with NO issue at all... while the other one had some issues but with my Vet Tech experience I was able to care for him as if he was at the hospital and she passed it. But it was a very close call for her going to have a foreign body surgery.

No! He is sleeping

so... keep an eye on him very close... watch for the following
Loss of appetite
vomiting
diarrhea
not having a BM and straining to go
becoming lethargic

foreign body issues need to be addressed ASAP as you have a great risk of the intestines perforating and then you end up with a major problem and that would be the pet going septic and that usually results in death if not taken care of FAST.

nah, dogs would never berate themselves by dressing up as cats.

It was foam kinda cheese color so maybe it was the cheese.

 

[afjess1989]

But I have noticed since he was born he will eat his food and go chasing his sister full speed and throw up a little like a upset tummy which is what he was doing then and doing now sounds like a road race on the hardwood

does he normally vomit up foam or anything???


this is my worry!.... he has vomited (foam...i dont care what), so you are almost mid week and there is a good chance you can get an appt with a vet now....


as the week goes on... and if he continues to vomit... there is a slim chance to get into the vet. and then by the weekend if and when things usually go to hell in a handbasket... you will have to deal with the price of the ER vet.


I would play it safe and make an appt. Get an xray done and this way they can at least see if there is a suspicious area in the intestines.

Yes he pukes up foam. He will be running around throw up some foam and go back to running around. I was told by a vet tech at tidewater that it could acid reflex

I used to be a vet tech and if it were my cat I would at least get an xray done. You coud try giving him some hairball medicine. We had a cat at the clinic I used to work at that ate a bunch of yarn. We kept giving him hairball medicine first to see if he would pass the string. It ended up working, saving the owner lots of money on a surgery.

been there done that... but I am with you. I would have an xray done just to be on the safe side before starting any type of treatment on her own.

I also was able to do subq fluids to keep the GI track going as mine did get to the point of not eating or drinking and only vomiting up her food. (but she was able to keep water down that I did syringe her before I gave her some SQ fluids)

Okay so my cat ate something it shouldn't have ate... Have you ever bought bologna and have that red plastic ring around it? Well he ate two of those and he seems fine. Will it pass through or should I rush him to the vet?

I didnt know you were supposed to take that red plastic ring off. I guess this is why my kids hate bologna.

I have a cat that swallowed a 4+ foot length of sewing thread when he was a kitten. I'm sure it was a little wad when he was playing with it and ate it. BUT when the little poop ball was bouncing along about a foot behind him and I grabbed it with a napkin... Let's say the cat took off and the string kept feeding out his back end. I almost had a fit thinking he must be hurt inside! But he was and is fine, 9 years old now. Best of luck to you and the kitten.
