How to deal with emergency treatment after cat eating line? Come and get it
If your cat has eaten the thread, it is best to take it to the veterinarian immediately to prevent the thread from being swallowed and causing the digestive tract to be blocked. A veterinarian can help your cat with an X-ray to determine if the thread is swallowed and take appropriate measures.
The cat can do the following emergency treatment after eating the thread: First, if the cat just eats the thread, the owner can open the cat's oral examination to see if there is any excess thread. If there is, you can slowly pull the thread out with tweezers or hands. Second, if the thread end cannot be seen, the owner can also induce vomiting on the cat to see if the thread can be vomited out. If the cat has been eating the thread for a long time and has symptoms such as foaming, not eating or drinking, and depression, you need to go to the pet hospital for examination immediately and consider surgery to remove it.
1. Pull the thread out directly
When the owner finds that the cat has swallowed the thread, you can check the cat's mouth to see if there is any excess thread tip exposed to the mouth. If there are still many that have not been swallowed, try pulling out the thread gently with tweezers or hands. But if all of them have been swallowed into the intestines, the possibility of taking them out is relatively low.
2. Ejaculation
If the cat eats less thread and does not show other abnormal symptoms, the owner can give the cat 20-50 ml of hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting. Be careful to be slower when irrigating, and do not too fast, otherwise the cat will easily choke. Generally, cats will start vomiting within 10 minutes. In addition, if conditions permit, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital to induce vomiting, so that the cat will vomit out.
3. Removal of surgery
If the cat has been eating the thread for a long time and has already foamed, not eating or drinking, or depression, then it cannot be delayed any more. It is recommended to send the cat to the pet hospital for examination immediately, confirm the location of the thread, and then take the surgical method to remove the thread to prevent the thread from wrapping and cutting the intestines.
