What Did You Eat? Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies in Cats
A thorough and systematic approach to the medical history, physical examination, and initial diagnostics is key to early identification of a foreign body.
Gastrointestinal foreign bodies are relatively common, especially in young cats. Clinical signs tend to be nonspecific (e.g., vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, drooling, lethargy) and mimic other diseases. A thorough and systematic approach to the medical history, physical examination, and initial diagnostics is key to early identification of a foreign body. Surgical management is often indicated, especially for linear foreign bodies, and good outcomes depend on early diagnosis and intervention.
