Hi all, hoping to hear from anyone who has experienced this.
My very naughty cat Biscuit broke into the laundry cupboard and chewed through a food bag around 4pm Sunday. I was concerned that he might have ingested some of the plastic bag (the type with metallic backing). When I puzzled it back together, only small bits were missing. He ate normally that evening.
On Monday morning though he vomitted all his breakfast. I called my vet who wasn't too worried as it was likely just a small amount of soft plastic that will pass on its own. The vet told me to watch for normal pooping and that he eats without vomiting. For the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday, Biscuit has pooped and eaten fine.
However this morning (Wednesday), he's vomitted up his breakfast again. He is otherwise his usual self.
Obviously I'll go to the vet if anything changes with his behaviour or poop or if he continuously vomits.
Keen to hear from anyone whose experienced something like this, especially how long it would take for all symptoms to resolve if the plastic does just pass by itself.
This is the food bag, it looks like more plastic is gone but when I folded the shredded bits together it was only a bit. And this is Biscuit post-gorge.

watch, and keep an eye on Biscuit to make sure he is still eating, using the litter box, and isn't getting sick too often.
