Symptoms and Treatment of Respiratory Foreign Bodies in Cats
A respiratory foreign body in a cat refers to material inhaled and lodged in any part of the respiratory tract, especially the nose, throat, trachea, and bronchi-the main passages to the lungs. It is caused by an inhaled object small enough to enter the airway but too large to pass through.
Why Does My Cat Keep Vomiting
Cat vomiting is common yet complex. Every owner faces it, but many diseases cause it—a dozen or two. Even vets find 'my cat threw up, why?' hard to answer.
Cat Acute Diarrhea: Symptoms and Treatment
Diarrhea is caused by excess water in the stool and is an important sign of intestinal disease in cats. It can affect your cat through severe fluid loss, leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance or acid-base disturbance.
Will a Cat Pass a Swallowed Object on Its Own?
A cat may pass a small, smooth object, but larger or oddly shaped items can block the gut and cause serious harm. Watch for poor appetite, lethargy, vomiting, drooling, or belly pain and see a vet; diagnosis may use endoscopy or X-ray, with treatment from monitoring to surgery.
My cat has ear problems, is lethargic, and vomits yellow fluid; what treatment and cost?
Ear mites or otitis media need an ear scope (about 100 yuan); with poor appetite and yellow vomit, also do bloodwork and gut checks. Mite treatment is cheap but slow; gut tests cost more, and hospitalization costs the most.
My cat stole a Shuanghui sausage and ate the wrapper and metal ring
Swallowing the wrapper and ring is dangerous. Watch 2-3 days to see if passed, but the ring rarely comes out alone. See a vet for endoscopy to remove it if not passed or if signs appear.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Sneezes 7-8 Times a Day but Acts Fine — What’s Wrong?
With no other symptoms, the sneezing is likely irritation or allergies. Remove allergens; consider a nasal scope if it continues.
My cat had retching then turned into severe coughing for two weeks — could it be a stuck airway foreign body?
Two weeks of coughing needs a vet exam to find the cause. A trapped object requires X-ray or endoscopy to locate, then removal. Afterward, anti-inflammatory medication eases symptoms.
Cat had an x-ray; the doctor says surgery is needed.
An x-ray alone can't confirm the stomach foreign body; get endoscopy or barium study for location/size/shape. If a real object can't pass, surgery removes it. If appetite/stools are normal with no distress, conservative treatment may work.
My cat suddenly lost energy, then vomited, and keeps vomiting blood.
Sudden lethargy and vomiting blood suggest gastric mucosal bleeding (foreign object, ulcer, acute bleeding); if free-roaming, consider toxin like rat poison causing bleeding, lethargy, convulsions. Get to a vet for infectious and blood tests, possibly endoscopy; give anti-emetic, hemostatic, and fluids meanwhile.
