sudden scream like being stepped on

A sudden scream from a dog, like being stepped on, may be caused by excitement, shock, fear, or neurological diseases. First of all, if the sudden scream is caused by excitement, shock, or fear, it is a normal phenomenon and there is generally no need to worry too much. If the abnormal sudden scream is accompanied by other symptoms, such as mental abnormalities, lethargy, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital in time for a full check-up to determine the cause and further treatment.

Excitement

If the dog is in a state of excitement, it may cause a sudden scream, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not lead to uncomfortable physical reactions or require medication.

Shock

If a dog is shocked, it may develop a fearful and scared mentality, expressing itself through a sudden scream. The owner should stroke the dog's head or other parts of the body and comfort it to alleviate its fear.

Fear

If a dog has just moved to a new environment, it may be afraid and scared of its surroundings, and may also circle around its owner. It is recommended that the owner take the dog to familiarize itself with the surrounding environment. Once the environment is fully familiar, the screams will gradually stop, and there is generally no need for targeted treatment.

Neurological diseases

Usually refers to neurological diseases, including the central nervous system, muscle nerves, etc., common ones include cerebral hemorrhage and subdural hematoma. After the disease occurs, it may damage the central nervous system, causing dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, and other adverse reactions. Treatment under a doctor's guidance may include taking neurotrophic drugs. If the condition is severe, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a regular hospital in time, otherwise it is easy to delay the treatment and affect the recovery of the disease.
