“I had in no way noticed everything like it,” Charleston Animal Modern society Associate Director of Veterinary Treatment Dr. Leigh Jamison stated.

The veterinarian staff explained they surgically eliminated the hair ties from the cat’s belly. They stated the products did not cause problems to Juliet’s intestines but they have been seeing a major liver problem that formulated since of unwanted fat buildup.
Jamison claimed Juliet’s problem was reasonable just after the medical procedures, but the animal finished up dying as of Friday.
Jamison’s staff also needs Juliet’s story to be made use of as a lesson for cat house owners.
“While cats love to participate in with bouncy, stringy objects like hair ties and rubber bands, they should really hardly ever do so unsupervised, for the reason that swallowing them may well call for health care interest,” the veterinarian group shared.
