🐱💨 Squirtle used… Feather Swallow. It was super effective.
Meet Squirtle, who paid our Pawsitive Care team a visit after deciding that the feathers from one of his toys looked less like playthings and more like snacks. 🪶
Because his family caught him in the act and brought him in quickly, our team was able to induce vomiting before the feathers had a chance to travel farther through his GI tract and potentially cause an obstruction. And Squirtle delivered — 4–5 feathers AND an impressive hairball!
After a little medication reversal and recovery time, our tiny Pokémon was able to head home. 💙
Fun fact: Squirtle really is named after the Pokémon! Unfortunately, this particular Squirtle appears to have chosen Feather-type over Water-type.
We’re so glad his family acted quickly and that we could help this handsome guy before his questionable snack choice turned into something more serious!
Get well soon, Squirtle! And maybe stick to Pokémon-approved snacks from now on. 🐾💙
