It seems possible. Carry Companion works similarly to Flesh to Stone, which turn a creature into a "mindless, inert statue". That's an object's description if I ever heard one and Mending / Make Whole work on objects.
As for how much hp the stone miniature has, that's up to your GM. They'll probably do one of two things: say it has the same hp as when the animal is NOT a statue, or figure out the hit points for a small object made of stone like the one your companion is now. The first is easy to keep track of, the second isn't much harder. Animal statue is broken = creature comes back missing 50% of its hit points. Object took 5 points of damage out of a max of 25 = the creature reforms at 80% of maximum health. Etc etc.
Mending or Make Whole may very well repair physical damage such as torn flesh and broken bones, and I could legitimately warrant that it could work to stabilize a person providing all their parts are present, albeit very painfully.
I would rule it doesn't, however, remedy blood loss, and it certainly doesn't dull pain or heal bruising, so there's no actual HP gain in the process, but it'll be better than letting someone bleed out from a lost leg.
All the persons parts have to be present, of course.

This has nothing to do with the question.. And isn't even supported by the rules..
If the miniature figurine is broken or damaged, the creature (if returned to its original state) has similar damage or deformities.
Although the spell doesn't specify this, it seems logical for it to work both ways. Two situations might apply:
1) the companion was fine when changed into a miniature figure, but the figure got broken of damaged; make whole or even mending should fix the damage completely, allowing you to reform the critter without "similar damage or deformities". Mending requires you to have a higher caster level than the magic object, though.2) the companion took hit point damage prior to transformation, and you want to cure it while it is in figurine form. It's unclear whether this is possible, although a generous DM might allow the 1d4 points of mending or the 1d6x caster level of make whole to apply directly to the critter's lost hit points. Maybe require a craft (scuptor) roll of (DC=10+critter's hit dice) because you need to do such minute, precision work.
The second case would be a pure house rule. The first case appears to be supported by RAW.
I always wondered what would happen if you used stone shape on the companion.
Since it retains all "deformities" you could use this to basically polymorph the creature.

So you're saying as long as i bring it back above 0 hp, my companion will be fine?This makes me think the creature would retain its own HP when transformed, otherwise you could just use the spell and zap mending over and over on it and save all of your cure spells.

Make Whole/Mending would not heal damage the creature had before being transformed, as the "whole/full health" miniature would include that damage, basically the creature is capped at its health before transformation.
As a main note, you are trying to get the rules to go farther than they do. There is no rule for finely detailed damage like limb loss. The statue has its hp, and is destroyed when it reaches 0 hp. That's it. Mending/Make Whole would fix this hp damage.
Yup, just like with living creatures, any specific wounds or damage (that aren't called out because any special qualities of the attack that caused them) are all for flavor and have no actual effect. Anything past that is a house rule.
Yes, a more realistic player could argue that something fragile like a pegasus figurine's wings would break off before the whole object's HP hit 0 (just like so many of our minis), but then you would also have to include things like if a character falls 200 feet and takes 80 damage, their legs should be broken at the very least. And not many people want that level of realism if the game system doesn't have specific rules for how it works.
