My cat ate liverwurst rind. Should I take her to the emergency vet?

I can certainly understand being worried about your cat eating plastic! The problem with plastic is that is can get caught in the GI tract, causing an obstruction. The best thing to do is to take him into a vet on call or an ER vet to get a shot to induce vomiting now. That will get the plastic out of him, and prevent any chance of obstruction. If it did cause an obstruction, he would need surgery to remove it, so it's better to avoid a big surgery bill now by having him induced to vomit to remove it. There is a chance it could pass on it's own, and you can chose to monitor him over the next 72 hours. Signs of obstruction including vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, and constipation, and should you see any of those signs, he would need to see a vet immediately. In my opinion, it's best to be safe, so I would recommend taking him into a vet now.

It can take up to 72 hours for signs of an obstruction to occur, and if she does get a linear foreign body from eating this ribbon, she will need surgery to remove it. Waiting until morning to see the vet will be too late to induce vomiting in Shadow, there is only a window of two hours in order to do this. I would take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call now to see her to induce vomiting with a shot.

It probably didn't come out whole but rather in pieces, which should be enough to cause an intestinal blockage. I would recommend watching Tommy for a week or so for any signs of discomfort, including decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If you see any of these, he should be checked out by a vet ASAP.

I’m guessing it was a plastic wrapper - if it was small then it would probably pass without any problems. If it is larger then it might cause vomiting, diarrhea or even an obstruction. I’d recommend seeing your veterinarian if Ozzy vomits, develops diarrhea or has a decrease in appetite.

If the bar contained chocolate there is potential for toxicity, although I would guess he would need to eat more than a bar to have any problems (knowing his weight would help and you can repost your question). If it didn’t have any chocolate and he didn’t eat the plastic he shouldn’t have any problems.

Poor Willie! Given that it appears she has vomited a foreign object (decorative balls from your bedspread) and the face she isn't eating, I would take her into a vet now. It's actually very serious when a cat doesn't eat, as they will develop a fatty liver when they go too long without eating. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment, so that needs to be avoided. She may need x-rays to determine if she has any more of those balls in her GI tract. Please take her into a vet now. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

It's actually a medical emergency when cats won't eat, as they go long enough without eating, they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. Perry is reaching that point if she has not eaten in a few days. You need to take her into a vet immediately.
