What are the symptoms of cats swallowing foreign objects? Cats swallowing foreign bodies may cause symptoms such as indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and may also cause symptoms such as oral mucosa damage, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, digestive tract obstruction may also occur, and may even cause intestinal perforation in cats.

If a cat swallows foreign objects, it will have symptoms such as coughing, depression, loss of appetite, bent over and arched back, unwilling to move, intermittent vomiting or dry retching. When the owner touches the abdomen under the cat’s ribs, the cat will show pain.

If a foreign object causes gastric bleeding or perforation in the cat, the cat will also cause bleeding. In addition, making painful moans can also be a symptom of a cat swallowing foreign objects.

If the cat is unwilling to take vomiting things, or becomes irritable, the owner should not forcefully open its mouth. Moreover, some foreign objects that remain in the stomach and intestines for a long time may cause poisoning, so the owner should send it to a pet hospital for treatment immediately.
