Records of 243 cases of non-accidental injury (NAI) in dogs, and 182 cases in cats, submitted by a sample of small animal practitioners in the UK, revealed a wide range of injuries. These included bruises, fractures, repetitive injuries, burns and scalds, stab and incised wounds, poisoning, asphyxiation and drowning (which showed remarkable similarities to NAI in children), as well as sexual abuse and injuries specifically caused by firearms. Traumatic skeletal injuries in the dogs were more commonly found in the anterior part of the skeleton, in comparison with those resulting from road traffic accidents. Young male dogs and young cats were particularly at risk of NAI. A moderately increased risk was identified in the Staffordshire bull terrier, cross-breed dogs and the domestic shorthaired cat, whereas the Labrador retriever showed a decreased risk. No single injury or group of injuries, when divorced from the circumstances surrounding a suspect case, could be considered to indicate, conclusively, NAI. Repetitive injuries, however, were highly suggestive of NAI.
英国一些小动物从业者提交的记录显示，243例犬非意外伤害（NAI）及182例猫非意外伤害存在多种损伤情况。这些损伤包括瘀伤、骨折、重复性损伤、烧伤和烫伤、刺伤和切割伤、中毒、窒息和溺水（与儿童非意外伤害有显著相似之处），以及性虐待和枪支造成的特定伤害。与道路交通事故导致的创伤性骨骼损伤相比，犬的此类损伤更常见于骨骼前部。幼犬和幼猫尤其面临非意外伤害风险。斯塔福郡斗牛梗、杂种犬和家养短毛猫的风险适度增加，而拉布拉多寻回犬的风险降低。在脱离疑似病例相关情况时，没有任何单一损伤或一组损伤能够确凿表明是非意外伤害。然而，重复性损伤强烈提示是非意外伤害。
