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.
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,
if u know for sure its a concussion stay home=== === === ===
yes but drink it slow. i Know from experience
It depends on the hamster, so i dont know.
What is a hamster that has no legs called? A furball.
you get it
One would assume that they would be similar to those of humans and other larger animals. Blacking out, dizziness, impaired movement, confusion, vomiting, difficulty waking up, convulsions, coma and abnormal behavior would all be things to look for.
Ask yourself one key question: "Do I want a hamster?" If the answer is yes, then any hamster will do.
a hamster doesnt know how to swim this is all i know soz
when you get a concussion. you black out and don't remember anything. when you wake up you will be asking questions and everything and wont know where your at. then you will start remembering stuff as soon as your up.
A double concussion is a concussion that immediately follows the first concussion, or occurs before the injured party is asymptomatic.
you will have to ask the person who sold you the hamster that is the only way.
