What Happens If a Cat Falls From a Height?
A cat falling is likely injured, possibly fatal, depending on floor height and ground hardness. Observe; limping or unsteadiness suggests fracture or soft-tissue injury - mild cases need restricted activity plus painkillers and anti-inflammatories; severe needs a vet. Vomiting blood, bloody stool, seizures, coma suggest concussion or internal bleeding - urgent vet care.
My 13-year-old unspayed cat fell and acted strange—is it old age or related to not being spayed?
After falling, the symptoms likely mean a concussion or brief pain causing unsteady gait; if no reproductive signs, spaying status is unrelated. But at 13, if symptoms persist after a fall, get a full check-up (a senior exam) to catch issues early; senior cats have base conditions treatable by diet or meds to extend life.
Yesterday my cat accidentally hit its head; today it will not eat or drink and vomits yellow fluid — what should I do?
A cat that hit its head and now refuses food and vomits yellow fluid likely has a concussion or brain injury, an emergency needing X-ray and brain CT at the vet. Intra-cranial bleeding or high pressure can cause vomiting plus coma, seizures, or walking difficulty with high death risk; mild concussion usually recovers in about two weeks with treatment and rest.
My dog was hit by a car: head thrown back and blood from the head. What do I do?
A dog hit by a car needs immediate vet care for possible fractures or internal bleeding. Keep it safe on a leash to prevent this.
Why Is a Rabbit Tilting Its Head and How to Treat It
Head tilt in rabbits is usually from Pasteurella or mite/fungal middle-ear infection damaging the vestibular system. Check the ears for discharge or odor; treat with hydrogen peroxide rinse, chloramphenicol drops, and penicillin/streptomycin injections for 5 days. Vaccinate against Pasteurella and inspect ears early to prevent it; valuable rabbits may be isolated rather than culled.
My cat has not moved all day, eaten nothing, looks dying, occasionally spits a little clear water, and barely meows. What should I do?
This is a critically ill cat; the cause needs a hospital exam. Common reasons for lethargy and foaming include gut diseases such as gastroenteritis, obstruction or megacolon; long-term poor diet or stress; internal diseases like liver, kidney or pancreatic disease; concussion, fracture or internal bleeding; and ingesting toxins such as rat poison causing neurological signs.
Today my dog was hit by a car; no visible injury and it could still jump, but at home it keeps vomiting, now seven times.
Vomiting after being hit suggests internal or head injury; there is a 48-hour danger period, so get a full check promptly. If care is delayed, withhold food and water and watch closely.
What happens if a kitten is often beaten?
A frequently beaten kitten becomes sensitive with a phobia, hissing and scratching if approached. Violence can cause fractures, internal bleeding, or concussion, even death. It may also show stress like refusal to eat or blocked bladder. Never use violence; guide patiently.
What happens if you hit a rabbit often?
Hitting a rabbit often makes it timid and sensitive, increasingly afraid of humans, reluctant to be touched and hiding in corners. When picked up it may tremble, scream, kick to escape, or bite. Hard hits can cause internal injury, incontinence, concussion, or even death. Do not scold or hit often; if disobedient, stop it and limit freedom to teach the mistake.
What happens if a cat falls?
A fall can cause scrapes, sprains, fractures, internal rupture, concussion. From under 3m, only minor scrapes/sprains; clean wounds with iodine and use a collar. Mild sprains heal with rest. From high places with leg-lifting, blood in urine, lethargy—see a vet.
