My cat ate a churu wrapper, which is metal.

Medical Questions

My cat ate a metal treat wrapper and she is drooling a lot of white clear-ish liquid, she won’t eat or drink. I’m a minor so I can’t take her to the vet- nor do I have vet money. My family won’t take her because they just spent a lot on another cat who ended up passing away a few weeks after birth. (She was very sick and couldn’t help her.)

What do I do? I’ve been watching her. She’s breathing fine but the drool keeps getting bigger every time that I wipe it off. She has even rejected her favorite wet food. She also keeps making smacking sounds which I’m scared about. She made the same sound when I held out a treat but when she took a small lick she made a weird smacking sound again and then gurgled a bit. I’m so nervous because I can’t even walk long enough to take her anywhere if I tired my hardest.
