| Brain injuries can be fatal if there is bleeding in the brain since the skull can't expand. He needs to get to the ER vet immediately! |

| So he's got a concussion? It will take time for the bruising and swelling to go down, perhaps weeks. Keep him really quiet while his brain heals. |

| I would take him somewhere else...that doesnt sound right to me at all!! I would think they would want to keep him there just in case..to watch him
