So this was a very long weekend....
Our cat eats/chews everything! Strings, cords, clothing (huge holes in the middle of my dresses), but this one took the prize....He ate a rubber mat from under his litter box! Not chewing the ends....a circle out of the middle!
Cut to the next morning....
He's quiet all morning (mommy is happy) and then he gets up from his nap and walking like a drunk sailor. Mommy gets Daddy and off to the vet we go...
Long story short, after 24 hrs of vet and emergency hospital + over night stay they think it's
A. inner ear infection or Ear polyps (recommending MRI to determine)
B. X-Ray of stomach produces more worry because he has large amount of strange materials and after 12 hrs of fluids it isn't passing..... recommending surgery
He's 4 months old!
So we brought him home because frankly after hearing the possible problems/complications with surgery, I couldn't rush into that.
Since being home, he's been fine, full of energy and eating normally (he's on raw diet)
So I guess I'm just looking for any insight into what I should be doing because I'm totally overwhelmed. Also We will be getting pet insurance after this so any thoughts suggestions on best insurances for foreign object coverage would be greatly appreciated!
Been a rough week...
