SYMPTOMS OF A FELINE SWALLOWING
A FOREIGN OBJECT; WHAT TO DO


If you see a piece of yarn, audio tape, string, tinsel, etc. protruding from your cat or kitten's mouth or anus, do NOT attempt to pull it out! It could be wrapped around your cat's intestines and by pulling, you might inadvertently kill kitty!! Instead, take your kitty in to your vet IMMEDIATELY!! Other symptoms that might occur even if nothing foreign is showing: your kitty is having difficulty breathing, vomiting or trying to vomit, coughing, bleeding from the mouth or anus, convulsing, frothing at the mouth or intensive salivating, or has a swollen tongue. Any of these symptoms require IMMEDIATE veterinary care and intervention. If your regular vet is closed or unavailable, take your kitty to the closest emergency veterinary hospital
