Woke up early this morning to Artie vomiting! There was something green in it. Turned out it was a piece of a plastic streamer from his favorite cat teaser toys! He vomited again 20 minutes later-just watery.
I took his food away, leave some out at night. Just kept out the water. He acted upset for about 25 minutes; then he went over to drink a lot of water.
The last time we played with that toy was 2 days ago!
It was 5 am by then and I was stressing. He did not poop for over 2 days--was going to give him some laxatone, (he usually goes every other day)--give him miralax daily--vet said ok....pumpkin sometimes also.
Artie is 8yrs old neutered male, whom I adopted 6 months ago.
He does love to chew on plastic.. I was stressing out, cuz I am careful about leaving things around for him.
I broke my arm and cannot drive. When we were playing with the toy, I got an important phone call, left the toy down for just a couple of minutes. Found him chewing it and had to gently take and pull it from his mouth. Did not see any pieces--so I feel I caused this..
I am worried about him.
He went about an hour later to drink a lot of water and wanted food!
He was crying for food, searching the house! Twice he was on the kitchen counter and I found him chewing the heavy plastic bag with holds a few baby potatoes to steam cook!
He did have a good size poop!
By then the Vet was open, called them. Artie seemed ok--just starving--you would think I never fed him!
The Vet said to watch him, if he seemed ok and he was begging for food to give him some and watch him all week-end.
I am still stressed. He seems fine now..no belly tenderness, is eating and drinking fine--just a very quiet day for him--and me...
fed him again and he seems ok.
I had to vent and to wanted to warn people about those teasers--do not leave them out, cats can get into everything and anything in a second's time!!
I hope he will be ok---he is my love.....:cat
thanks for listening
