Lentil came back from the emergency vet minus one hair tie and all my dignity

Eight month old foster fail. I looked away for maybe thirty seconds while cleaning my vanity and he apparently inhaled a hair tie like it was sashimi. X-rays, induced vomiting, 420 euros, and now I own a child lock for a bathroom drawer. Posting this so somebody else hides the weird rubber stuff.

Thank you for posting this. People always joke about it and then boom foreign body surgery.

Hair ties are cat crack. Mine once stole one out of my braid while I was asleep.

The emergency word tax is so real.

My orange idiot did the same with a foam earplug. ask your vet if they want a followup xray just in case fragments stayed behind

They told me to watch litter box output like a maniac for two days.
