We were alerted to a string hanging from this poor cat’s bottom one afternoon. This is a potentially life-threatening emergency. Strings can bunch up inside the intestines and cut through them like a saw. Cases like these often require additional diagnostics and emergency surgery. Very luckily for this sweet cat, Dr Eunice was able to gently locate and free the end of the string during a re**al examination, allowing him to safely pass it without surgery. If you ever see string, ribbon, thread, or tinsel coming from your pet’s mouth or bottom, do not pull it!! Seek veterinary care immediately.
