This article tells you: What should I do if a cat eats plastic wrapping paper?

People often say that "curiosity kills cats", and I believe that cat shovelers who keep cats have a deep understanding. When cats see new things, they will always smell them first and then lick them, which makes it easy for cats to swallow foreign objects. So what if the cat eats plastic wrapping paper? Interested friends can come and have a look~

1. If the plastic wrapping paper that the cat eats is rarely small, and the cat has good spirits and appetite, then you can feed the cat some probiotics to promote gastrointestinal motility and check whether the cat has discharged the plastic wrapping paper. As long as the cat does not have other abnormalities, it can usually spit out or discharge plastic wrapping paper by itself within 1-2 days, so the owner does not need to worry too much.

2. If the cat has not discharged foreign objects after two days of eating plastic wrapping paper, the owner should take the cat to the pet hospital for an X-ray examination in time to clarify the location of the plastic wrapping paper. If the plastic wrapping paper is still in the stomach, the cat should use vomiting method to let the plastic be spit out. If the plastic is already in the intestine and blocks the intestine, surgery is required to remove the plastic as soon as possible.

3. If the cat eats a lot of plastic wrapping paper and is in a bad state, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible, and perform vomiting, enema or surgery to remove it.

Note: The owner should usually pay attention to packing up the small toys and items at home to avoid cats from accidentally eating them. If a cat always eats something strange, it may be a typical symptom of "pica", and the owner needs to add trace elements to the cat.
