Cat ate bit of lick-e-lick wrapper

Hello there! It's understandable to feel concerned when our furry friends nibble on something they shouldn't. Cats are naturally curious, and sometimes this curiosity gets the better of them, leading to accidental snacks like a piece of a lick-e-lick wrapper.



Ingesting a small bit of wrapper might pass through the digestive system without issue. However, it's important to monitor your cat closely over the next few days. Signs to watch out for include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or any signs of discomfort, such as excessive pawing at the mouth or if your kitty seems more lethargic than usual. These could indicate the wrapper is causing a blockage or irritation.



At home, ensure your cat is drinking enough water, as hydration can help things move along in their gut. You might also provide some extra fiber through a small amount of canned pumpkin or a high-fiber cat food to help facilitate the digestive process.



If your cat shows any of the warning signs mentioned earlier or if the wrapper was a large piece, it would be wise to seek veterinary advice as soon as possible. Feel free to book a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet, so we can provide more guidance tailored to your cat's specific situation. Take care!
