4. My sister's one year kitty wasn't eating and vomiting
Fri Feb 10, 2023, 01:46 PM
Feb 2023

Turned out she had been eating from a straw basket that my sister had and the straw stayed in her stomach and the cat couldn’t digest it They first vet said pancreatitis and gave her meds but the cat wasn’t getting better. She took her to a second vet who xrayed the cat and saw the straw, the cat had to be operated on and they removed the straw. The Cat recovered and she’s back to her normal feisty self. The negative, it cost my sister $8000. It would not have cost as much if they caught it earlier.

Take him to vet. SheltieLover Feb 2023 #1
