My dog hit its head, was unconscious, and now convulses and circles
Head trauma can cause concussion or brain nerve damage with coma, convulsions, vomiting, seizures. Get a brain CT at a vet; rest quietly during recovery.
While tidying up at home I suddenly heard my dog barking outside; I rushed over and found it collapsed not far away, panting, limbs weak, making vomiting motions but bringing nothing up. I called family for help to take it to the vet, and fearing poisoning gave it a detox injection, but the dog still struggled painfully and died vomiting blood. What happened? Can you explain?
Collapse, dry heaves, and death with blood vomiting can be from a bone or foreign object stuck in the throat, toxic food causing bleeding or poisoning, or a head injury from being hit. With the pet already deceased, a definitive cause is hard, but these are the main diagnostic directions.
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.
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.
Peripheral Nerve Injury in Dogs and Cats
Peripheral nerve injury in dogs and cats results from blunt trauma, falls, tumors, or irritating injections near a nerve, producing partial loss of sensation, weak reflexes, and eventually muscle atrophy. Prompt treatment of the cause and supportive nerve care improve the outlook.
Myelitis and Meningomyelitis in Dogs and Cats
Myelitis and meningomyelitis are inflammations of the spinal cord and its surrounding membranes, often secondary to infection or trauma. They cause fever, pain, and progressive weakness or paralysis, and treatment must eliminate the underlying cause while controlling inflammation.
My dog hit its head, is foaming blood, and its nose is bleeding and drooling
Nose bleeding after a dog hits its head may be damaged nasal mucosa, but blood in the foam alongside it suggests possible concussion or brain injury—seek veterinary care. Before the trip, clean the blood and apply an ice pack to the nose bridge to constrict vessels and slow bleeding.
My dog hit its head, is foaming blood, its nose is bleeding, and it’s drooling — what should I do?
Nose bleeding after a head bump may be damaged nasal mucosa, but with blood in the foam too, concussion or brain injury can't be ruled out. Go to a vet promptly. Before that, do basic first aid: clean the blood, and ice the bridge of the nose to constrict vessels and help stop the bleeding.
What to Do When a Puppy Falls from a Height
Stay calm, check for obvious injury like fractures or bleeding, and watch behavior. Soothe with a calm voice and gentle petting. For bleeding, press with clean gauze; for shallow wounds, clean with mild soap and iodine. For fractures/dislocation, hold steady on a soft pad and rush to a vet.
