In general veterinarians don't diagnose concussions in dogs unless there is evidence of either soft tissue or bony damage to the skull. This is because the common symptoms of concussions include blurred vision, slurred or disjointed speech, nausea, headache and other self-reported symptoms that dogs simply can't convey to a veterinarian.

However, some signs of a concussion could be dissimilar pupil size (one larger, one smaller), delayed or absent response to normal stimuli such as the puppy's name being called, difficulty walking and obvious cranial trauma.

How do you know if your hamster has a concussion?

Honey, I was wondering the exact same thing before my hammy died...I hope that didn't scare you ... >> Well, for a hamster to have a concussion, it must've taken a fall. Therefore no fall, no concussion. Since hamster's can't puke or anything, it's hard to tell. If your hamster is kind of out of it, not walking straight, disoriented, it just might have a concussion. However, you should take your hamster to the vet. They probably won't charge you anything if they don't do anything besides diagnose, so don't worry about the cost. Either way simple hamster procedures (sorry, I couldn't think of another word. I mean like putting on a little cast kinda of idea) only cost $50 or less. I don't think that they'll be needing to do any of that, they'll just give you any advice if your hamster does have a concussion. Best of luck with that,
