This is Tuxedo!😸
Little Tuxedo ate a piece of rubber that, although reasonably small, managed to get stuck in his intestines, causing an obstruction.
When a blockage like this forms in the intestines, it prevents food from moving through and can cut off blood supply to the intestines.
This makes the patient very unwell and often results in inappetence, vomiting, lethargy, and in the worst case, sepsis.
Lucky for Tuxedo, his family took him to the after hours vet overnight and had him transferred into our care for an exploratory surgery to have the foreign object removed.
We're happy to say that after his procedure, Tuxedo has made a very speedy recovery and is back to his usual cheeky, sassy self!
If your cat is known for nibbling silly things and you're concerned they may have ingested something, don't hesitate to contact us or your closest veterinary clinic to have them assessed as soon as possible.
