Cat attacked by dog, no blood. Could it be an internal injury?

Question

Hi my kitty was attacked by a dog there is no blood anywhere but he seems to have something wrong with his back right hip or leg what are my options

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

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.
