My cat ate fish bones or guts. Are they dangerous for her health?

Question

Is fish bones and fish gutd dangerous for cats? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 18 days old | 1lb

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

The guts are usually not bad, but can possibly contain poisons or certain parasites that can be dangerous. Usually they are fine though and very nutritious. Fish bones can be quite dangerous, because they can get stuck in the throat, stomach or intestine and cause life-threatening problems. For this reason, I recommend avoiding feeding fish bones. I hope that helps and all is well with Oliver.
