I hope that all Mia has is a concussion but if you start seeing other signs or it is getting worse, I would encourage you to take her in immediately. If it is Necrotizing Encephalitis or GME you have to start treatement immediately in order to push this disease in remission. Again, don't mean to scare you but I would definitely watch Mia closely.

Good Post Lee Ann!!
Brooke was wobbly and her legs went out from under her too!! Our regular vet did a lot of tests and couldn't find anything wrong, she sent us to a specialist who couldn't figure it out but thought it was neurological and we were sent to a Veterinary College where Brooke was given an MRI and Spinal Tap and she was diagnosed with GME. Lee Ann is right just watch her closely and if she is getting worse then it is not a concussion and I would get her checked for neurological problems. Good Luck, I hope she is better tomorrow and we are all worried for nothing!! But knowledge is power, even if you don't need that knowledge right now!!
