Kitten attacked by dog, no injuries, but vomiting. Does she need a vet?

The best option is to take your kitty into a vet now. Even though there is no blood, there could be internal injuries from the attack, such as a broken hip or leg bone, and he really needs an exam and x-rays from the vet now to rule that out. I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now. There will be a vet on call in your area for emergencies, and you can find that information on the clinic's answering machine or website. If you absolutely can't get him into a vet tonight, keep him indoors, quiet, and warm. Offer him only water, and do not give him any human pain medications. Many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. Then have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning.

I'm so sorry Lizzie went through this traumatic event! Without seeing her and her injuries it is very hard so say. If they shook her at all they could have caused bruising to her lungs or brain. The other concern would be any puncture wounds. I would look her over carefully for wounds and keep her inside for the next 24-48 hours to monitor her. Any signs of lethargy or respiratory distress/panting, I would see a vet ASAP. Good luck and kisses to Lizzie!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Koneko is very cute! I can't make out the scratch on the 2nd picture. Cat bites can be very dirty and commonly cause infections or abscesses. Koneko could have an abscess forming for could be painful after being attacked. She could also be a little traumatized. I would ask your neighbors who they use for Veterinary care. Some large animal (horse or cow) also are mixed animal Vets that also treat cats and dogs. Or I would call your local SPCA and see if they have a low cost Veterinary clinic built in. The best thing for Koneko is to have an exam done, that way we can bet her better. She also needs to start her vaccinations and be dewormed. Until she is better and had her shots I would keep her indoors. I hope this helps and I wish Koneko the best!

Unfortunately, this sounds like Poofy needs to go to the vet immediately. If she was attacked and injured it is possible she has wounds or internal injuries that require treatment ASAP. It is important to let your parents know that when a larger animal attacks a smaller one, they can very easily become injured and should be seen by a vet ASAP as all injuries are not outwardly apparent.

Certainly the cuts/scratches/wounds need to be considered infected and antibiotics or appropriate disinfection is required. The vomiting episode may be related to head trauma together with the twitching as well. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to rule out these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.

It's actually possible that he's both sore and has an internal injury. The blood in Kermit's mouth could be his own if his mouth was injured. I'd recommend taking him into the vet now. He should have a physical exam, blood tests, a urinalysis, and x-rays to diagnose if he does have any internal injuries, and the vet can treat him for it.

Poor Angela! Yes I would definitely take her into a vet immediately. I agree with you, she does look pretty banged up in the photos and I'm concerned about infection. Cat bites frequently become infected. Please take her into a vet now. I hope this helps!
