How long until a dog dies after swallowing a fishhook?
A swallowed fishhook is not always fatal, but if it pierces an organ it can kill within 1 to 3 days. See a vet immediately.
Why Is My Rabbit Passing Red Stool?
Red stool can be harmless—red-pigmented foods like red spinach or mustard greens—or a warning of bleeding from gut inflammation, gastritis, or an anal tear. Overfeeding concentrated feed ferments in the cecum, upsets the gut flora, and causes enteritis with bloody diarrhea. Keep the home dry and airy, prevent coccidiosis, use a smooth cage floor, feed vegetables in moderation, give chew toys, control portions (rabbits have no fullness cue), and balance grain, greens, hay, and water.
A one-month-old kitten was moved to a cabinet to avoid being stepped on, fell, went limp and motionless as if dying, then revived after I massaged it; one hind leg was dragging but started moving after a few minutes, now just walks a bit awkwardly without limping
Weak hind legs and slow walking after a fall suggest pain or a sprain, but if the cat has dilated eyes, nasal bleeding, poor appetite, or depression, it may have fractures or internal injuries needing X-rays.
My cockatiel hurt its head and bled, now lethargy and not eating—what is wrong and how to treat it?
Head injury with lethargy and anorexia may mean infection or pain; if the cause is unclear, internal injury can't be ruled out, so see an exotic-animal vet promptly. If you cannot go, disinfect and medicate the wound: after bleeding stops, use iodine, then an anti-inflammatory ointment; severe cases may need oral antibiotics once daily. With no appetite, offer millet, fruit and vegetables and syringe-feed nutrient fluid or glucose water to prevent dehydration.
Cat dropped and shaken by a child two months ago, threw it; these two days not eating kibble but drinking goat milk, slowly improving – what might be wrong, will it suddenly die later?
A fall can cause external, bone, internal, or nerve injury. If eating, drinking, and behaving normally, rest and observe. Get X-ray/CT and ultrasound to rule out serious damage; sudden later death may come from brain bleeding or nerve compression.
How long does it take for a dog’s sprain to heal?
A mild sprain in a dog usually heals on its own in about a week. But if the dog has a leg fracture or crack, it cannot heal by itself and needs veterinary care with external or surgical fixation, taking about 3 to 4 months to recover.
What happens if a dog falls?
A fall may cause scrapes, fractures, spleen, or brain bleeding; minor falls need ice then heat and iodine. Limping or inner signs need urgent vet care.
What happens if a Golden Retriever is not dewormed?
Without deworming, a Golden easily gets internal and external parasites. External ones bite the skin and drink blood, causing itch, bleeding, hair loss, and from scratching, skin inflammation and ulcers. Internal ones harm gut and organs, causing vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, poor appetite, lethargy, even encephalitis or myocarditis. Deworm regularly and avoid tall grass and raw food.
Can a dog’s bloody vomit heal on its own?
Bloody vomit in dogs generally cannot heal on its own. It signals severe stomach bleeding, possibly from acute pancreatitis, internal injury, poisoning, parvovirus, or tumors, and without prompt treatment can lead to rapid death. If the amount is small, it may be from swallowing a foreign object that scrapes the gut or mouth, which might self-heal but can easily lead to infection. Take the dog to a vet to find the cause and treat it.
What is the best medicine for a dog pooping blood?
Find the cause first. For heavy bleeding, use a hemostatic (e.g., carbazochrome, batroxobin) to stop it, then treat the cause. Parvo/distemper need interferon, monoclonal antibodies, Astragalus polysaccharide; parasites need dewormer plus probiotics.
