Had an experience today, thought I'd share it in case it helps someone in the future.
A good friend of mine's cat swallowed a rubber band this morning. She called the vet, who told her in induce vomiting by pouring hydrogen peroxide down her throat, two teaspoons at a time until she threw up. I went to her house to do it, because I have so much experience medicating cats.
We gave her two teaspoons at a time, letting her walk around inbetween watching her to see if she would vomit. We did it about five times. After the fifth time she threw up once- just the hydrogen peroxide, then a few minutes later she vomited huge... it was so gross and foamy... but there were two pieces of rubber band in it!
FYI, we started inducing vomiting a half hour after she ate the rubber band. It wouldn't have worked if it had already gone into her digestive track.
