Thank you for submitting your question regarding your kitten. If possible, you need to seek emergency veterinary care. The injuries need to be investigated. He will likely need antibiotics, pain medication and food or sugar to support his blood sugar. In the meantime, you can rub syrup in the gums if the kitten has not eaten recently. I hope this information helps.

We can sometimes see bleeding in the ear due to inflammation with ear mites or an ear infection. If your kitten has otherwise been normal/active today, eating normally, and his gums are nice and pink and he hasn't had any trauma then waiting til tomorrow for an exam should be ok. If your kitten is lethargic, has pale gums, has bruising or red spots on his body or starts bleeding elsewhere an emergency exam is warranted.

My kitten is hurt. He is laying down and not acting normal. He meows here and there and he ate food. He has some blood on his paw and his neck. We’re not sure what the source is. He won’t let us touch his neck area. We don’t know what happened to him
This is an emergency. You need to take your kitten to a pet ER right away. Small kittens can die very quickly from injuries but they can also recuperate very quickly if treated properly. It is important to find where the blood comes from and how serious the injury is. The fact that the neck is hurting is especially concerning. Please take your kitten to an emergency veterinarian now.

My dog attacked my Kitten and now her nose is bleeding. What should I do?
Ideally, the kitten should be physically examined by a veterinarian to diagnose any other injuries. If it is a minor bleed, it should stop with some gentle pressure. If there is internal injury, that can be addressed by the veterinarian after the exam. Monitor for lethargy, ataxia (wobbly gait), difficulty breathing, pale gums, uneven pupils or bleeding from the ears or anywhere else.

Please help! My cat doesn't want to eat for a few days since he got an injection against fly poison.I CAN'T GO TO THE VET BECAUSE WE LIVE REALLY FAR.He drinks water and moves by himself but he started to bleed from top of his ear.It is a small scratc
Place an e-collar (cone) on Kiki to prevent further scratching or rubbing. Minor bleeding can be stopped using a bit of styptic powder or plain cornstarch and gentle pressure. Keep the area clean and dry. Warm his food slightly or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate his appetite. It is vital that he begins eating again. Cats who do not eat for 2+ days are at high risk of developing serious liver related complications. If his anorexia persists, he will need to be rechecked by your veterinarian as soon as possible. If you see very dark urine or a yellow tinge to his skin, gums, or whites of his eyes, then have him examined immediately.

We rescued kittens they're about5 weeks old now.. 1 kitten suddenly has round bloody sores behind her ears and1 one below her neck.. Help!
Poor kittens! These lesions could be a result of injuries from playing and subsequent infection/abscess formation, ringworm, or mange. If you feel adventurous, you can carefully try to use clippers to clip the fur around these lesions on both kittens and then clean the areas with an antiseptic solution, such as dilute chlorhexidine or dilute betadine. However, both kittens will likely need to go to the vet for further evaluation to determine if diagnostic testing and/or oral antibiotics are necessary. If the kittens are scratching at themselves, be sure that they are wearing e-collars (cones) to prevent further skin damage. I hope that all goes well!

My kitten bite by male cat what should i do she bleed
This type of wounds must be considered always infected. A check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Simba. Poor boy! I suspect he has an ear infection, which can be caused by yeast or bacteria. If he's bleeding from both ears, this is a very bad infection and could constitute an emergency. I would find to a vet to see him now to get this treated. Leaving it untreated can lead to hearing loss. I hope this helps!

Hi, My kitten has red raw ears and a few dry red bloody spots on her body as if she has some kind of mite..I’m not sure what it is and have tried ear mite medicine but it’s on her body too. Please help! Thanks
She may have a fungal infection or different mite infection. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat the underlying cause. This may require skin scrapings, fungal cultures and/or ear cytology. Skin scrapes and ear cytology can be performed in the clinic. A sample for fungal culture will need to be sent out to a veterinary reference laboratory. Once results are returned, the appropriate treatment can be administered.

My cat is delivering her kittens and one of them is bleeding an looks paralyzed
This is a concerning presentation for a kitten. I would recommend to continue to wipe her nose and open the mouth to clear it. Rub the kitten in small circular movements to get it breathing. Seek immediately veterinary intervention as that wound on the the back requires an immediate check up and treatment.

My kitten was attacked by a dog and now cannot walk, he breathes heavily and cannot meow but he tries. His gums/roof of his mouth is snow white. He tries to move by kicking his back legs and jerking his body around. There are red marks under his fore
He needs to see a vet immediately. The pale gums could mean internal bleeding or circulatory shock. Breathing heavily can be pain or trauma to the lungs. Low body temperature in cats is a sign of severe illness. Even if you don't see external injuries, the internal injuries could be severe in small kittens.
