My puppy hit her head and is vomiting. Could it be a concussion?

I am not too worried from this single episode of vomiting. There is no way to evaluate an animal for concussion, so we just watch their behaviors and appearance. As long as Wrigley is walking normal, has a normal activity level, eyes appear normal and they are identical to each other, and he continues to have a good appetite, I don't think he needs to see a vet. Of course, if anything changes or you are very concerned, he needs to be examined by a veterinarian and have a thorough neurologic examination.

Concussions can be tough to diagnose and can be very serious (just like in humans). Here is a link which may help: https://www.petcoach.co/article/concussions-in-dogs-what-you-should-know/ Without knowing the cause for the abnormal behavior, it's difficult to know how to treat him or if home care is even possible (just like humans, sometimes a doctor's care is absolutely needed). At home you want to make sure he is protected from harm such as falling down the stairs. You should make sure he is eating and drinking (you may need to bring him the bowls and hand feed him). There may only be so much you can do and there may be treatment he needs to avoid further complications. To be safe, I recommend to have your pup examined.

I'm concerned at her age and small size, Lola could have head trauma from hitting her head. The vomiting and lethargy are quite concerning signs. Find your nearest local ER vet or call around vet clinics in your area to see if there is a vet on call to have her seen now. Best of luck.

Here is a helpful article about pet concussions: https://www.petcoach.co/article/concussions-in-dogs-what-you-should-know/ If Athena is exhibiting any of the symptoms of a concussion or you are very worried, have her seen at an emergency clinic. You may also try working on accepting the crate at a later date once things have calmed down: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-puppy-or-older-dog/ Best of luck with little Athena.

IF kismet is eating,drinking, being active and using the restroom I would just recommend monitoring her closely at home. We do not typically diagnose concussions in veterinary medicine. Typically if a dog hits there head they are fine. My only concern with a chihuahua is that they can still have a open spot on there head. If they hit this region it can cause a seizure. If you feel like Kismet is acting lethargic or having seizure activity I would recommend taking her to an emergency clinic for observation. Other wise just monitor at home

It sounds like she may have done some damage when she hit her head. An examination could still be fairly normal though. It could be that she has a mild concussion but there are certainly more serious possibilities. I would take her back for a more focussed neuro exam and she possibly may need an MRI scan to know more.

Lacey needs to see the veterinarian right away. Head trauma can be fatal, it can cause a concussion and only a veterinarian will know what needs to be done. https://www.petcoach.co/article/concussions-in-dogs-what-you-should-know/ Have Lacey examined quickly. Best of luck.
