While you may easily observe the external effects of trauma, internal consequences of a traumatic event may not be immediately obvious. Injuries to a pet’s abdominal or thoracic organs, or head or spinal column, are extremely common after trauma. If your dog or cat has experienced blunt trauma, especially being hit by a car, they most likely have some degree of internal trauma.
Unfortunately, internal trauma, such as bruised lungs, fractured ribs, internal bleeding, or organ damage, often does not become apparent until it’s too late. This is why any traumatic event warrants an immediate veterinary assessment by your emergency animal hospital in Upland.
