We found my healthy cat dead yesterday bleeding from the nose with no apparent injuries?????

Question

I found my female cat dead yesterday bleeding from the nose. She was fine the day before and yesterday afternoon and around 8p.m. we found her dead in the front yard. She is a wild cat but is scared of vehicles so we dont know if she got into poison or was hit? What do you think? Could bleeding from the nose be something else besides getting hit or into poison?

Answer 1

Sorry Rachel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't mean to hurt you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day a small cat came to me it came from no where I immediately fell in love , gray and a bit dirty, not the usual elegant cat, she liked me more than others, and I liked more than other cats, but I knew she was not normal , Nobody noticed that , she could not make a proper eye contact, I thought that was it , after a short time she started to refuse to eat and looked very lazy and slow, setting in sun spots, following the sun all day, I didn't know what that meant , well she was dieing !

I lost cats before but I cared more this time but I know that nothing can be done and it is better to leave it as is because if you find out what has happened believe me you will be more sad .

Sorry Rachel I was trying to tell you let it go because I feel with you  but I just said all the wrong things.

Answer 2

It was something internal,  she may have been hit by a car, that what it seems like, if you really want to know take her to a vet and have an autopsy done.  

Answer 3

well that is an obvious sign that your cat suffered from internal injuries.  either hit by a car, or kicked thrown or squeezed

Answer 4

Bleeding from the nose is almost always a sign of internal injuries.  So I would say being hit by a car is the most likely culprit.

Answer 5

It could have been any number of things, but it sounds like internal injuries which points to car for me. Outdoor cats face many dangers unfortunately and don't tend to live nearly as long as indoor cats.

Answer 6

I am so sorry for your loss. But I must concur with the others. It was a tragic accident. Unfortunately outdoor cats don't live as long as indoor cats, no matter how well we care for them, because they are exposed to a number of things like cars. I know it does not make it any easier, but that is the fact.  

Answer 7

As everyone else said, it is more than likely some internal trauma due to an "accident", no matter what had happen I am very very sorry for your lost! I am a loving cat person and it is always sad to tell someone you love goodbye.

Answer 8

More likely the cat died from some trauma such as being struck.

A poisoned animal will usually vomit and foam would be visible

around the mouth. Of course, I can only speculate but it sounds

like a road casualty.  

Answer 9

Bleeding from nose or ears is a sign of brain trauma.  To be sure, you can go to your local vet and request a necropsy, or autopsy of an animal.  I'm very sorry for your loss.
