How does an injured cat behave?
An injured cat's signs depend on severity and location: limb injuries cause bleeding and limping; skin wounds lead to licking and chewing; internal damage brings arched back, abdominal sensitivity, poor appetite, lethargy, bloody stool, or nosebleeds. See a vet promptly.
What Causes Guinea Pigs to Miscarry?
Guinea pigs miscarry for many reasons — sudden fright, a chasing male, disease, temperature swings, bad diet, falls, toxins, or parasites. After a loss, isolate and clean the mother, check for surviving pups, and give a warm, quiet, nutritious recovery space.
My foundling orange kitten had normal stool first day on kibble, then diarrhea; only fed kibble and lactose-free milk, gave smecta and probiotics, improved, then relapsed after stopping smecta; no fever/vomit, eats/sleeps well but diarrhea; today a bit of blood.
Give pet probiotics for diarrhea; avoid dairy (even lactose-free). If no improvement plus blood, likely parasite-induced enteritis—get a fecal test first to identify the parasite, then choose dewormer (giardia/coccidia need specific drugs, common dewormers don't work; both cause persistent bloody diarrhea; also roundworm/tapeworm). Severe bleeding: oral anti-inflammatory. If blood/diarrhea with low appetite/fever/lethargy, check for panleukopenia.
My three-month-old Silver Gradient cat – yesterday afternoon while playing it jumped about 50 cm up and probably lost control; I don’t know if it fell or if I heard a thud. Right after coming back from its third vaccine shot in the evening, there was blood – not in stool, more like dripping, not sure if vomited. Spirits fine, eating/drinking/pooping fine. There’s something on its nose that wasn’t there before; not sure if from the nose.
If your cat jumped from a height yesterday and you heard the sound of a fall, and then later there was bleeding from an uncertain source, it is recommended to see a veterinarian promptly. The bleeding may be caused by an injury from the jump, or it may be related to nasal damage or internal injury. If you find an external bleeding point you can press it with gauze to stop the bleeding, but other internal or nasal bleeding generally requires a veterinarian to perform the proper examination and diagnosis, to determine the cat's condition and provide appropriate treatment. While waiting for the appointment, keep the cat quiet and comfortable and provide clean drinking water and food.
My turtle has pneumonia and is vomiting blood; I gave some amoxicillin and soaked it in amoxicillin water for half an hour, but it vomited blood again tonight—what now? Very urgent!
Pneumonia with blood vomiting likely means internal injury, GI ulcer, and acute pneumonia; take it to an exotic-animal vet. If unavailable, for suspected acute pneumonia, add cephalosporin or amoxicillin to water for a medicated bath, and give hemostatic medication if vomiting is frequent. This is critical—seek a capable hospital.
My cat was hit; what is going on, the local vet is closed, very urgent
After a cat is hit, check where it is hurt. For clear eye injury, dispersed pupils, or bleeding from the face, use antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drops until the clinic opens; if next day shows eye blood clots, spots, or swelling from the blow, see a vet in the morning for eye exam. If the cat is otherwise normal without shaking, seizures, vomiting blood, diarrhea, or poor appetite, other organs are likely fine.
Where You Should Never Hit a Dog
Never strike a dog on the nose, tail, belly, or legs — these areas hold delicate nerves, breathing passages, organs, or fragile bones, and a hard blow can cause lasting damage. If you lose your temper, a light pat on the thick thigh or rump is the only safe option, but training works far better than hitting.
Why Is My Rabbit Passing Blood in Its Stool?
Blood in a rabbit's stool is alarming and should never be ignored. Causes include constipation from dry food and low water intake, parasite overload, enteritis (which can rupture local capillaries), and rectal tumors or polyps. Treatment matches the cause—diet and hydration for constipation, deworming for parasites, antibiotics for enteritis, and prompt surgery consult for growths.
What Should I Do If My Cat Eats Rat Poison?
After eating rat poison, a cat may develop a fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, and vomiting, or show internal and external bleeding such as nosebleeds, bloody vomit, bloody stool, or black tarry feces. Because the toxin can severely damage the liver and other organs, seek veterinary care immediately—if none is nearby, induce vomiting at home with hydrogen peroxide, then follow up with IV fluids and bloodwork.
My cat was run over by a car, is defecating, drooling, and panting heavily, but can walk slowly on its own
A cat whose belly was run over with incontinence, drooling, and heavy panting likely has serious internal injury; this is an emergency needing immediate vet care (X-ray, ultrasound). Keep it calm, do not feed or water (water can hasten death with heavy bleeding), and follow the vet's plan.
