In the early stage of internal bleeding in cats, symptoms such as pain, loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting blood, and blood in the stool will appear. Abdominal pain may occur in severe cases. Cats falling from heights or suffering from physical illness are the main causes of internal bleeding in cats. Once the cat is found to be abnormal, it should be sent to the doctor in time, otherwise the cat may die at any time.

Common causes of internal bleeding in cats

1. Fall from a height

Some cats are more lively and like to jump up and down, and cats are good at hiding their emotions and pain. Once the cat falls and causes a hematoma or internal bleeding in the brain, it is not easy to see. Therefore, once the cat is found to be abnormal, it should be sent to the doctor immediately.

2. Physical illness

When cats suffer from hidden diseases such as gastric ulcer, enteritis, cat distemper, and acute internal hemorrhagic anemia, if they are not treated for a long time, the symptoms of the cat's condition will become more and more serious, so that even the slightest touch will trigger internal bleeding symptoms.

How to identify internal bleeding in cats

If your cat loses appetite, has a bad mood, is lethargic, curls up motionless in a corner, and is accompanied by breathing pain and aggrieved expressions, it is a sign of internal bleeding in your cat. After that, you can observe whether the kitten has symptoms of nausea and vomiting. If nausea, vomiting, and hemoptysis occur, it means that the cat has internal bleeding in the lungs.

The cat's poop and urine need to be checked for blood. If the cat has blood in the stool or urine, it is a sign that the gastrointestinal or urinary system is bleeding internally. When the condition is severe, the cat's abdomen will also become significantly larger, and the heartbeat and breathing will also become faster. Without immediate treatment, cats can die from severe hypoxia.

When you notice your cat has internal bleeding, you should immediately take it to the veterinary clinic for an X-ray or B Ultrasound to find out the extent of the injury. If the condition is not serious, immediate surgery can save it. If the injury is serious, it may not be salvageable.
