Swallowed string

[Ash]

It' s been over 48 hours and he shows no symptoms. Can I assume he's alright? Nothing has turned up in his stool so far.

[Traci]

Possibly, but I'd watch him for another couple of days. Monitor his appetite, food and water intake, and watch his stools, that he is defecating regularly and normally, etc.

[Phoebe's human]

Just a correction--I said "staples," not "staplers." And I don't think my cat ever succeeded in swallowing one. I took quite a few of them out of her mouth though when they were about to be swallowed.
