Does it matter if the cat eats a rubber band?

2023-05-25 21:57:58 167

If your cat accidentally swallows a rubber band, he or she needs to be monitored closely. Normally, if you just swallow a small rubber band, it's probably fine.


However, if your cat has swallowed a large amount of rubber bands, or if the bands have metal buckles or other items that could cause gastrointestinal damage, you should contact a veterinary clinic or emergency pet medical center immediately. These items can get stuck in your cat's intestines, causing gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of appetite.


Therefore, if your cat has swallowed a rubber band, it is recommended to observe whether its behavior and stool are normal, and seek medical attention if you notice any abnormalities. In addition, in order to prevent cats from swallowing foreign objects, please keep the home environment clean and tidy and ensure that cats are away from dangerous objects.
