🌺來到年三十，我們為屋企添上佈置迎接龍年🐉的同時，都要注意家中的飾物🏮 會否為寵物構成危險﹗貓咪主人要注意什麼？貓咪喜歡玩繩子狀的物體🧶，但您知道如果吞下這些物件會很危險嗎？物件如紗線、線、牙線或絲帶，都可會導致嚴重的腸道問題😭。這些異物有機會固定在貓的胃腸道中，當腸道收縮時，會對敏感的內壁產生「鋸切」動作🪚。 這可能會造成嚴重損害，在某些情況下甚至可能危及生命。及早讓獸醫治療至關重要，診斷過程可能會需要作身體檢查、X 光或超聲波檢查。如果您看到繩子從兩端伸出，⚠️請勿拉動⚠️，這可能會引致更嚴重體內損傷！貓咪吞食了有害異物的跡象包括，嘔吐、腹瀉、腹痛、食慾不振、嗜睡或行為改變。如果您懷疑您的貓吞下了不適當的東西，請立即與我們急症服務聯繫🚨或到鄰近的家庭獸醫。記緊要將繩狀物放於貓咪碰不到的地方，並留意牠玩耍有繩子或流蘇的玩具。 😇我們祝您和家人，包括可愛的寵物，過一個愉快的年三十晚﹗VSH香港及九龍醫院於農曆新年期間照常營業，全年無休💪。🌺While we are gathering together on Chinese New Year’s Eve🐉 , with our homes decorated with decorations🏮 to welcome the incoming Year of the Dragon, we need to be aware of potential risks certain types of decorations can bring if you have pets at home.What should cat parents pay attention to?Cats love to play with string-like objects🧶, but did you know these can be dangerous if swallowed? Items like string, ribbon, thread, yarn, and even dental floss can cause serious intestinal issues😭.These items can become anchored around the cat's tongue or in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to a ‘sawing’ action🪚and can cut into the sensitive intestinal lining as the intestines contract. This can cause severe damage, and in some cases, can be life-threatening. Early veterinary intervention is crucial, and diagnosis may involve physical examination, X-rays, or ultrasound. ⚠️DO NOT PULL⚠️ if you see a string coming out on either end, as you can cause more damage internally.Signs that your cat may have swallowed something harmful can include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, lethargy or behavioral changes. If you suspect your cat has ingested something inappropriate, seek veterinary care immediately either at VSH Emergency Services🚨or at your family veterinarian. Keep string-like objects out of reach and monitor your cat’s playtime with toys that have strings or tassels.😇We wish your entire family, including your pets, a healthy happy Chinese New Year's Eve! #龍年快樂 #貓安全 #家居安全 #貓急症 #急症獸醫 #24小時獸醫 #ER獸醫 #Year of the Dragon #CatSafety #HomeSafety #CatER #EmergencyVet #24hourVeterinarian #24hourVetClinic #24hourVetHospital #ervet
