Hi there!
My cat, who is 13 years old, got a hold of a pair of my Mom's earplugs on a string on Tuesday night. (it's Friday) They were on a string and were a soft plastic like kind. She ate both of them ( but not the string) . My Mom and I decided to wait a few days to see if she passed them...
This morning, at about 4:30, we heard her throwing up, we went to go & see and she was throwing up this clear foam, she did this about 8 times. She kept making faces and you could actually hear the earplug in her throat. I ( who is very dramatic) called the emergency vet and brought her in. The vet kept talking about the prices of the surgery, etc. He told us we should bring her to her regular vet. We brought her home and at 9am called her ''regular'' vet who said we couldn't bring her in as she was only fixed there and did not come for regular visits.
We finally found someone who would see her and agreed that she needed surgery. Just as the taxi came into my driveway, my cat went into the litterbox. To our surprise, the cat pooed one out! It must of been the big bowl of milk I gave her. So we cancelled the taxi and appointment in hopes that the next ear plug will come out. What am I going to do? Im afraid of it blocking her intestines. Ive been giving her hairbell remedy in hopes that it will help. Is there anything else I can do? What if the earplug re-appears in her throat? How can I take it out? PLEASE HELP.
Thank you so so much, to whoever replies!!
