Will my cat get sick??????

Question

My cat ate a plastic zipper that he tore off a binder. Will he get sick or will it just pass through like normal?

Answer 1

i think if your this concerned you should go to the vet just to be sure.  It could get caught in his intestinal tract and become painful and infected.  A short consultation with the vet will probaly set you back around $40 and he'll say 'just keep and eye on him and if he starts acting unusual and stops eating  or starts bleeding out the other end bring him in and we'll give him and x ray to see whats going on in there'.  I think it would set you at ease taking him in. I know i would. :)

Answer 2

you should take him to a vet just in case but it might just pass through. it depends if it gets stuck or not. U should always watch out for what your cat eats.

i hope this and and i hope you cat is ok!

Answer 3

Get your cat to a vet ASAP!  It may pass, but it may not.  If not it could  cause intestinal damage.

Answer 4

Take him to the vet. If it gets stuck in the cat's stomach than it can become a real problem.

Answer 5

You should take him to a vet right away because it could get lodged in his intestines, and if it does he will definely die! Hurry!

Answer 6

He may pass it but on the other hand it may become lodged and he may need surgery to remove it.  It can be extremely serious if he cannot pass it.  I think I would consult my vet if I were in your position.  There is absolutely no way he will be able to digest plastic and if it gets caught in his digestive tract it could cause him great distress and possible death.  It happened to my mothers cat when he ate a large rubberband.   Best of luck, I hope kitty is okay!

Answer 7

he'll be fine he will digest it or it will just be in there forever, youd be surprised at what u would find in a cat/dog stomach! DONT WORRY
