My cat recently (within the hour) ate a piece of soft yarn about 6-7 inches long. He is acting fine and I can not see any yarn in his throat. I am wondering what would be the best option to do. I understand there are risks for this kind of stuff and I know what could possibly happen. I talked to a few vets already and they recommend calling an emergency animal hospital. I did and they said to bring him in to try to induce vomiting since that is the only real thing you can do right now. Obviously they recommend that but, is this necessary or should I just wait it out to see if he poops it out/throws up?
He is a maine coon so he has long hair and gets hairballs a lot. I was wondering if the yarn would have the same effect as his hair since he has hair as long as the piece of yarn. Is it ok to give him food?
