🚨 Did your cat eat something they shouldn't have?
Foreign body obstructions are one of the most common — and most serious — emergencies we see in cats.
Cats are natural explorers, and things like string, hair ties, rubber bands, tinsel, and small toys can get swallowed and become lodged in the digestive tract fast.
🚨Signs your cat may have a foreign body:
✅Repeated vomiting or dry heaving
✅Refusing food or water
✅Visible abdominal pain or swelling
✅Lethargy or unusual hiding
✅Straining in the litter box
✅Drooling or pawing at the mouth
Don't wait it out. Your cat can't tell you what's wrong — but you know them better than anyone. If something doesn't seem right, trust that instinct and give us a call. Early treatment makes a real difference in outcomes.
At VMC1604, we are a full-service clinic equipped to handle everything from diagnostics to surgery and recovery care. We'll walk you through every step and make sure your cat gets the care they need.
📞 Call us — we're here Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM.
