My cat is retching. Should the vet check for stuck grass? Is it serious?

I would be as concerned as you at this point. I don't think I would wait 2 days before bringing Milo back in (or consider another vet) to have x-rays taken. It does sound like there could potentially be something stuck in the esophagus. I hope not, but if there is, and you wait 2 days to recheck, there could be perforation of the esophagus, which can be quite serious. If you have access to a veterinary specialist in your area, I would consider going. They can anesthetize Milo and use an endoscope to look down into the esophagus and retrieve anything that could be stuck there.

It sounds as Tiny is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an antibiotic course and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If he inhaled grass blades in his nose, this could contribute to the signs you are seeing. He may also have some grass or another foreign object lodged in his esophagus. I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at Chuck so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I wouldn't wait too long because if there is something stuck and it goes unaddressed, it could potentially become a serious problem. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

The irritation from the coughing and the grass blade can cause a little blood from small blood vessels that have burst. Don't worry at the moment but if the coughing or spitting up blood continues then it should be examined by your vet as there may be another one lodged.

If you are concerned there may be something stuck, I would recommend that you have Cheeky evaluated by a vet immediately. Sometimes they can eat a piece of string or fabric that gets caught around the base of the tongue. Other times, these types of symptoms can be caused by coughing/respiratory disease or nausea. A thorough exam with a vet should be able to clue you in to what could be going on with Cheeky.

I would give it a few minutes to see if it settles down. But if he continues to drool or cough Lou may have a foreign body stuck in the back of his mouth or his throat, and I would recommend a veterinary visit today. If it seems to go away then it may have just been transient, or a small piece of grass or something he's able to dislodge on his own. I hope he is back to normal soon, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I'm sorry to hear that Dylan is experiencing so much vomiting. If it is still continuing, he will need to see his veterinarian. Profuse vomiting can have several causes, but the most worrisome is a foreign body obstruction. This occurs when a cat eats something such as a hair band, a piece of string or a toy. It then becomes blocked in the intestine causing the cat to vomit. I hope this information helps!
