Internal Hemorrhages in Dog
An Internal Hemorrhage is very serious; it is generally a consequence of car accidents, falls, etc. The evident signs are paleness of the mouth and eye mucous membranes. There is also an increase in the breathing, which sometimes sounds or seems like a yawn. The pulse accelerates and then slows down, ending in weak and slow beats. An animal that is on the fringe of death will lead out one or two long and deep sighs. Generally these hemorrhages are fatal. Until the vet arrives, whom you've had to have called, you must try to keep the animal calm, lying down and conveniently wore, without excess. If he must be transferred, you must take all the precautions into account, as if he were fractured, which he might even be, and it could worsen the situation. If he is conscious, you can give him some water with salt -- 1 spoon in half a liter of water -- to drink (only if he really wants to; do not oblige them). This is a very serious case, and every second that you lose without professional attention means one second less between life and death.
