The aims of this pilot study were to: i) conduct a thorough behavioral and medical evaluation of cats presenting for chronic fabric ingestion; and ii) implement specific treatments for conditions identified and evaluate the outcome of treatment on fabric ingestion. Eight cats which ingested fabric at least weekly were recruited. Cat owners recorded daily baseline frequency of pica and gastrointestinal signs for 1 month prior to the behavioral and medical investigation and again during a follow-up period. Diagnoses were made and response to treatment was monitored and modified as needed. Abnormalities included mild hypercholesterolemia ( = 7), gastric or intestinal eosinophilic infiltrates ( = 6), suspected delayed gastric emptying ( = 4), suspected gastric reflux ( = 1), and spp. ( = 1). Four of the eight cats responded partially to treatments. Treatment of fabric ingestion in cats remains a challenge and further investigation is needed.
这项初步研究的目的是
i）对因长期吞食织物前来就诊的猫进行全面的行为和医学评估；ii）针对所确定的病症实施特定治疗，并评估治疗对织物吞食情况的效果。招募了八只每周至少吞食一次织物的猫。猫主人在行为和医学调查前1个月记录异食癖和胃肠道症状的每日基线频率，并在随访期间再次记录。做出诊断，并根据需要监测和调整对治疗的反应。异常情况包括轻度高胆固醇血症（n = 7）、胃或肠道嗜酸性粒细胞浸润（n = 6）、疑似胃排空延迟（n = 4）、疑似胃反流（n = 1）以及某种[未明确的物种]（n = 1）。八只猫中有四只对治疗有部分反应。治疗猫的织物吞食问题仍然是一项挑战，需要进一步研究。
