Animal hospital docs thought the stray kitty was healthy but she became lethargic and stopped eating. That’s when a radiograph detected an unusual blockage in her belly.
Cat’s got your tongue — but shouldn’t get your hair ties.
Veterinarians in South Carolina were flabbergasted when they removed more than three dozen ponytail holders from a cat’s stomach. A Good Samaritan brought the feline, Juliet, and two other cats into the Charleston Animal Society after they noticed the kitties had been left behind when their owners moved out of state,Leaders at the animal hospital thought Juliet was healthy upon arrival, but after several weeks she became lethargic and stopped eating. That’s when a radiograph detected an unusual blockage in her belly.
Leigh Jamison, the society’s associate director of veterinary care, said that the surgical team discovered “a seemingly endless bundle of strings” during Juliet’s procedure.The cat had successful surgery to remove the hair ties, but blockage led to a liver condition that is being treated.Juliet had indeed swallowed 38 hair ties, resulting in the internal pileup.
The knotty mess serves as a purrrfect reminder to never allow cats to play with stringy objects like hair ties and rubber bands unsupervised.
