My dog’s belly makes watery gurgling sounds and he walks unsteadily after an abdominal injury
Watery gurgling after the abdomen was pressed on suggests fluid buildup, possibly internal bleeding or organ damage with blood in the abdomen, or a bladder injury leaking urine. Do not treat at home - it can be life-threatening. Get an ultrasound and X-ray at a vet promptly.
My dog suddenly has weak hind legs with no injury
Sudden hind-leg weakness may be trauma (spine/bone), age-related degeneration, calcium deficiency, or rarely nerve disease. Check for wounds/swelling; see a vet for cause-based treatment.
My dog fell in water at eight months old during the 2019 pandemic peak and went untreated, leaving a chronic problem; a vet called it incurable asthma, but after a severe injury last year with internal bleeding it needed three blood transfusions to survive, and now it is worse – what should I do?
From the description alone the dog's condition cannot be judged, so a veterinary exam of the respiratory and cardiac systems is needed to find the cause of the rapid breathing. Because the dog is having difficulty breathing with a risk of suffocation, prompt treatment matters.
How long does a dog’s brain injury take to recover?
Recovery from a dog's brain injury depends on severity; severe nerve damage may be irreversible. Go to a vet at once for blood tests, CT or MRI, and neuro checks to set a plan.
1.5-year-old Golden Retriever hit by a car; the car is wrecked but the dog is fine and lively – could there be internal injury?
Dog blindness has many causes; if eye exams rule out eye disease and retinal nerve issues, brain tumor or pressure, even clotting disorders causing intraocular bleeding and blindness are possible. Thorough eye and body exams find the cause early.
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.
How is internal organ injury in dogs treated?
A dog with internal organ injury must go to a vet at once; delay can cause permanent harm or death. Diagnosis uses X-ray and ultrasound, then surgery sutures damaged spleen or liver, and fixes any fractures. Afterward hospitalize, then rest at home with nutritious food.
What symptoms appear before a dog dies from a head injury?
Severe head trauma may cause head tilt, drooling, convulsions and foaming before death, then stiffness and incontinence. Survivors may have sequelae.
Why is a dog’s front leg suddenly limping with no visible injury?
It could be a sprain or soft-tissue bruise (invisible). If there was no trauma, it may be arthritis from stairs, over-exercise, obesity, or a damp home. Or a congenital issue or femoral head necrosis. Get an X-ray.
Why Is My Dog Suddenly Limping with No Visible Injury?
Sudden limping without obvious wounds can come from a hairline fracture, ligament or muscle strain, arthritis, a slipped disc or pinched nerve, patellar dislocation (common in small breeds), or a calcium/vitamin deficiency. Keep the dog calm and rested, then see a vet for X-rays or imaging to find the exact cause.
