Hello there! It's understandable to be concerned when your cat swallows something unusual like rawhide. Typically, rawhide is more of a concern for dogs, but if your curious kitty has gotten into some, it's important to keep an eye on her.
Rawhide can be difficult for a cat to digest and has the potential to cause blockages in their digestive tract. While some cats might pass it without issue, it's good to monitor her closely over the next few days. Look for any signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a decrease in appetite. If you notice any of these symptoms, or if your cat seems to be in pain or distress, it's crucial to seek veterinary attention right away.
In the meantime, make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water, which can help her digestive system function smoothly. It might also be helpful to gently feel her abdomen for any unusual tenderness or swelling, but remember to do this calmly to avoid stressing her.
Since every cat and situation is unique, it's always better to err on the side of caution. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals to discuss her specific case and get tailored advice. We're here to help ensure your furry friend stays healthy and happy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
