Hello everyone,
I'm worried about my 2 year old cat. I found him eating the back legs off a roach toy that my friend left over at my apartment. I caught him in the process of swallowing the second leg. The first already missing so i'm pretty sure he ate that one too. The legs were very thin plastic, slightly bendy, about 1"-1.5" each but had fake barbs on the sides. I called the emergency vet downtown as soon as I noticed. They asked all the questions about what it was, how long, etc. They said they cant do much at this point, that they don't think it will even show on an xray, and they think he will pass them and to monitor his behavior, eating, and his number 2. I'm so worried and there is no other vets in the area that are open and today is Saturday. Everyone else is closed till Monday. I read online its bad to force a cat to throw up. I know it seems like something small but it has those pointy edges and I would think it would hurt his stomach or intestines. I don't know what to do. Even if I take him to the vet they wont do anything yet. I uploaded an image of the toy that he was messing with.
