If your cat has eaten a skewer (pinchos):
-
Seek veterinary attention immediately. Skewers can cause serious injuries to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract.
-
Do not induce vomiting: This can worsen the situation by causing the skewer to become lodged in the esophagus.
-
Observe your cat closely for any signs of distress: This includes changes in behavior, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or pain.
If you are unable to get to a veterinarian right away:
-
Monitor your cat’s breathing: If your cat is having difficulty breathing, call the veterinarian or take them to the nearest emergency clinic.
-
Keep your cat calm: Stress can worsen the situation.
Prevention:
- Keep skewers out of reach of cats.
- Dispose of skewers properly after use.
- Supervise your cat around food, especially if there are skewers present.
