CATS and HAIR TIES!!! 😱🙀

Hair ties are one of the most common causes of intestinal obstruction in cats. Cats with intestinal obstruction typically present with vomiting and poor appetite as the most common clinical signs. Often these cats will continue to drink small amounts of water.

If your cat likes to play with hair ties and is showing these signs, please call either of our clinics or one of the local emergency clinics immediately as surgery is needed to remove hair ties that are ingested.

Below you can see multiple x-rays of hair ties found in the stomachs of different cats.

We are in full swing of summer now that we've reached July, which is Pet Hydration Awareness Month! Our pets have a higher body-water content (as much as 80%) compared to us (as much as 55-60%), which means they need more water to stay hydrated. This is incredibly important in the heat of summer. Encourage hydration by offering multiple locations of water within the home, whether it is in a bowl or a pet water fountain (cats are naturally curious and it can entice them to drink more!). Offer canned food, which is high in water content, and even mix a little extra water into it. Giving fresh water every day will encourage our friends to keep drinking too.

We know it's important for us to stay hydrated, and it is important for our feline companions too. We can set reminders for ourselves to drink water, but our pets rely on us to make sure they have the options to drink too!
