I don't really know how this works and I don't care at the moment, I'm extremely worried though and this is the only place I could think to turn to.
When my sister was cleaning out a shelf, including the cabinets, in my room she scattered everything and I lost a majority of it. Among such items were plastic, and I cleaned my room trying to collect everything. Apparently I missed some and he ate it.
I don't know when he ate it, but last night he was gagging and threw up only a little bit. It was complete liquid. I figured it was just his dinner disagreeing with him but it progressed through the night. This morning as he was gagging he threw up the piece of plastic. It's thin, like the plastic a new tooth brush comes in, which I think it might be.
He started crying in pain while gagging and was unable to vomit after that.
I went to my mom for help and she told me to feed him bread and milk, which I did. He nibbled on it, but didn't wolf it down like he usually did when I made him that. However, he's going back every few minutes and nibbling a bit more.
I'm just very concerned what to do. It was an hour ago he threw up the plastic, and I'm not sure it was all of it. His behavior is fine and normal, he has a little brother who pounces on his back and grooms him. He's been friendly to his brother and just as friendly to me, but he's a little jumpy after what happened.
He's a large tom, about two years old. Skinny and active, and is currently laying down, pacing, then laying back down again. I feel like it might be because he's uncomfortable.
My biggest problem is I am unable to take him to a vet. I can't afford one, and neither can my parents. As a concerned cat owner I ask you, what should I do?
