My unvaccinated dog is acting strange and bleeding after a cat bite.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bingley. Oh no, poor boy. No he may not need to be euthanized, but he needs to see a vet immediately to get a rabies vaccine and be quarantined for the next 10-14 days. Please take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

Yes, I would be concerned that there may be internal injuries, especially as she is bleeding when she sneezes and she is also likely to be in significant pain and discomfort. Dog bites are at significant risk for infection also so I strongly recommend a full check up by your vet

It is very important that you take Rubal in to your vet for appropriate treatment, and have your son seen by a doctor right away. The doctor will be able to treat your son based on the rabies law and treatment protocol in your area, and your vet will be able to advise you on proper treatment protocol for Rubal. Please also make sure that you always keep your pets up to date on their rabies vaccinations, since rabies is relatively common in India and is deadly to humans and other mammals.

Poor guy. Typically internal bleeding in the abdomen will cause bruising along the belly, in many cases. Also pale gums can indicate internal bleeding, along with severe lethargy and a lack of appetite. So unless you are seeing these things he likely doesn’t have any internal bleeding going on. However, dog bites tend to get infected, so it’s best to have him seen soon for antibiotics and wound management. You can also clean his wounds with Betadine diluted 50:50 with warm water to help deter infection. Keep an eye on him tonight and tomorrow and get him seen first thing Monday if that is your only option for vet care. If he seems unstable (mostly the symptoms I mentioned above) at any point, then an ER vet visit is highly recommended. I hope that Blackjack is able to recover well. Best wishes and take care.

If the other pet doesn't have an updated Rabies vaccine or if Tundras Rabies is overdue, then I would report it to animal control and then have Tundra examined. Also look her over for any blood on the haircoat, which usually indicates that there is a puncture wound on the skin. I hope everything works out for your pet Tundra. Best wishes and take care.

I would be most suspicious of a calicivirus infection causing these signs. Calicivirus is a vaccine preventable disease that is mostly seen with kittens. This virus will cause ulcers in the mouth, which will cause it to bleed a little. This disease is often self-limiting, but can cause severe ulcers in certain cases, so it will definitely be good for the vet to check them in the next day or two. It's likely not an emergency though, so they should be fine to wait until then. I hope that helps and all is well with the cats.

Cat bite wounds are a high risk for becoming badly infected so you should monitor very closely for signs of heat, pain or swelling which would indicate the need for a full vet check and prescription medications. Bathe the area gently is saline and apply some dog friendly antiseptic such as betadine
