Coma is a deep state of unconsciousness in which the animal does not respond to external stimuli, even strong ones. This is an emergency situation that requires urgent veterinary care.

Signs of possible coma:

• - The animal does not respond to voice, touch, pain (e.g., pinching or pressing on the paw)
• - No control over body position (completely relaxed body)
• - Eyes are open or half-open, but without reaction to light
• - No movements or only rare involuntary muscle contractions
• - Reduced or absent respiratory rate, slow pulse

Coma is not just a dream. If the animal does not wake up and does not respond to stimuli, it is serious.

What to do:

• - Do not try to wake or move the animal forcibly
• - Provide calmness and warmth, lay on its side (in case of convulsions - carefully)
• - Call a veterinarian immediately or go to the nearest clinic

Coma is the result of severe brain damage, shock, hypoglycemia, intoxication, or trauma. Quick intervention can save an animal's life
