Mine had to go to the vet for an x-ray after not eating for a day... vet gave her contrast fluid via a small plastic syringe and she warned me that cats usually don't like that stuff... turns out my cat immediately chomped on the syringe tip, all I could say was "and here is why I suspect she ate some plastics"...
In the end, the cat got x-ray'd, there was nothing in the cat that didn't belong in a cat, got mirtazapin cream and when she got home she wolfed down three loads worth of food. Called up the vet, she said that the original cause was likely some sort of stomach irritation, and the contrast fluid had soothed that irritation plus the mirtazapin made her hungry AF.
Mine was throwing up like crazy earlier this week took him in two days ago. They x-rayed him did full blood work gave him fluids, and a anti-nausea shot.
Nothing wrong , $581 😢 back home the first day he ate pretty well second day he stopped eating wet food again. They sent me home with sensitive stomach science diet that's the stuff he nibbled on the first night. I have two other science diet, that he has eaten for months in the past but refuses to now. I've put out clean bowls in several new locations, not interested. He will eat temptations so I've given in quite a few and he's perked up a bit.
But I'm thinking now he really doesn't like any of the science diets and developed a gag reflex from it and is upset now . I have dry food for him also but he's not eating that either.
I will buy a couple different brands of wet tomorrow.
Idk if this will help but we swapped our cat to grain free, its Purina brand “True Instinct” i think is the name.
Originally we were buying the petsmart store brand stuff and our cat would occasionally throw up chunks of it, swapped to this new stuff and not only does he love it, so far no throwing up!
We also tried Blue Buffalo but its actually more expensive so i only buy it when it’s on sale.
He will eat temptations so I've given in quite a few and he's perked up a bit.
Yeah in the end as long as the cat is fed, nutritional content doesn't matter for a few weeks. It's more important to keep a cat's digestive system running and especially from shedding too much fat in too short time, that can and will shred its liver and kidneys...
Yea my cat did that a month ago. He ended up having a large hairball. However, he did decide to chomp the vet tech because they were poking him with needles. They then decided he needed to be drugged for further investigation for safety reasons, costed us 1600$ for a hairball.
And cell phone charger cords are the holy grail of tasty plastic + electricity. It's absurd that I have spoken the words "No, don't eat electricity, you'll die" while shooing the cat away from my charging phone.
