Vets seem unsure if there is nothing, a foreign body, or just hair in the x-rays. They also say my cat has inflammation. Looking for a second opinion

Hello there! It sounds like you're in a bit of a tricky situation with your feline friend, and I'm here to help.



When it comes to x-rays showing uncertainty between nothing, a foreign body, or just hair, it can indeed be challenging. Cats are known for swallowing things like string or threads, which might not be very visible on x-rays. If your vet mentioned inflammation, it could be due to your cat ingesting something that's irritating their intestines or it may indicate something else like an infection or inflammatory bowel disease.



At home, keep your cat comfortable and ensure they stay hydrated. You might try feeding a small, bland diet, such as boiled chicken or rice, but only if your vet suggests it's safe for your cat. Keep a close eye on your kitty for signs like vomiting, severe lethargy, loss of appetite, or any unusual behavior. These could indicate an urgent need for medical attention.



I'd recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can discuss your cat's symptoms in more detail and provide specific advice tailored to your pet's needs. This could also help decide if further diagnostics like an ultrasound may be necessary. Hope to chat with you soon and get your kitty feeling better!
