Stung Out (2)

Well, when we got to the hospital,  everyone was stunned to see this pet, appearing normal with little to no discomfort this long string dangling from it's mouth.  "Is this the true definition of a  "cat fish?" one of my nurses said with humor. Maybe she swallowed a fish first?" someone else chimed in.

Foreign bodies are difficult to treat medically, sometimes they pass with the stool.  Many times they do not. It is real important to watch your pet like you would a child, especially in the young puppy and kitten ages. 

Strung Out!!!

Oh oh... Dr. Johnny came home with a cat on his mind. Earlier this afternoon, he received a phone call from a worried "pet parent."  Somehow, the cat swallowed a fishing line -- she wondered, "Should I pull it out!!"

"No," Dr. Johnny replied, soothingly, "Scoop him up and meet me at the hospital, we're going to surgery."
