I have a cat who managed to eat a ribbon. A lot of ribbon. I only found this out on a Sunday night at 10;30 when said cat woke me up trying to get rid of this ribbon and I noticed something strange coming out of her mouth, when I realized what it was i freaked out, she freaked out. I madly googled "my cat swallowed a ribbon" the answers were not heartening. I was terrified and shaky.

I checked my vets phone number for emergency vet services and found VERG, drove her over at 11 pm. Explain the situation, after a bit of a wait they take cat upstairs, vet calls and explains what they think they should do, try to get her to expel it again - half an hour later vet comes down with about 12" ribbon. I am so excited! success! No they explain, that's all we could get on the first go, there is more in there. Ack! So I leave her there to be scoped to see if they can get the rest and go home to get some sleep (it is now @ 1am) get a call a few hours later - success! but she is very tired and needs some fluids. I arrange to pick her up at 7:30am.

I arrive to pick her up - everyone involved comes to say hello and is amazed she managed to eat something along the lines of 4 FEET of ribbon! and she comes home with me dazed and confused. 3 days later she is eating and acting normal, even though she hates her meds.

i would 100% recommend Dr. Chris Lenahan, Dr, Andrea Shliselberg, and Jordan Brynes. They were fantastic. The receptionists morning an night could not have been nicer since I was a wreck! Yes they do want an upfront payment, but for the services I received I thought it was fair especially given how much work they had to do to carefully extricate a giant ribbon and would not expect to get treatment without an upfront payment.

Huge thank you for everyone who helped and Poose is doing just fine!
