Dog attacked by cat, now crying and won't jump. Is he injured?

It sounds like Daddy injured himself jumping up on the bed. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Given his age, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian. It is possible he was bitten or scratched and now has pain or infection associated with the wound. Coax him into a carrier using a favorite snack and have him seen today if possible.

It could be Buster injured himself yesterday, causing the crying and hesitation to jump. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe.

Ouch, poor Beau! He could have hurt his back in the fall, and that's why he's not being playful at the moment. I would rest him overnight, no jumping, playing, or running. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he's still not his normal self in the morning, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.

Poor CJ! It sounds like he is in pain if he's walking slower, struggling to lay down and get up, and cannot bend to clean himself. I would be concerned that he has a problem with his neck or back. It possible he was injured. My advice is to rest him tonight, and take him into a vet first thing in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing his pain, and can treat him for it. The vet can also prescribe pain medication as needed. Please do not give him any human pain medications, many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. Best of luck.

First of all, Luna is adorable! I'm sorry to hear that she seems a bit uncomfortable today. Since the focus of her crying and whining seems to center around jumping on or off of the bed, my main concern would be that she developed a back or neck injury. In some cases, dogs can be quite stoic with these injuries until they move or are handled in certain manners. Back injuries can also cause referred pain in the abdomen, which could explain why she pants (this can be a sign of pain) when you pick her up. It can be difficult to precisely determine if back or neck pain are present without a lot of training, and it is often overlooked at home. Since she is intermittently crying and panting, it sounds as though Luna may be relatively painful. I recommend taking her to the vet for an exam to try to determine the source of this pain so that treatment can be started. Until you can get to the vet, keep her restricted to a crate or small room and avoid allowing her to jump on or off of furniture or use the stairs, as this could exacerbate any underlying injury. I hope that Luna feels better soon!

Well that wasn't good that Isabella jumped that height! Given that she meowed and jumped on the bed, not limping or crying in pain, I would suspect she was not injured from that jump. If she was injured, she would be limping, crying in pain, and would be lethargic. I suspect she is ok, but hopefully she doesn't do that again!
