What are the symptoms after a cat eats a foreign object?

Symptoms of a cat after eating a foreign object:

1. Flicking its mouth with its paws, shaking its head and head, trying to throw the foreign object out.

2. I tried to swallow many times but had difficulty swallowing.

3. Vomiting and reflux.

4. Loss of appetite and listlessness.

5. The cry changes and is slightly painful.

6. Cough hard, trying to cough out foreign objects, etc.

How to deal with cats after eating foreign objects:

1. Induce vomiting in time. If the foreign object is in the throat and does not reach the chest or intestines, you can try to induce vomiting.

2. If the foreign body has reached the chest or abdominal cavity, especially the linear foreign body, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for a barium meal angiography and then take an X-ray to determine the specific location of the foreign body before performing surgery.

3. If you eat a poisonous foreign body, you need to induce vomiting first, then detoxify, and finally remove the foreign body through surgery.
