Behavior following a concussion...

[jan and lolli]

If she has injured the brain, like in humans it takes time to heal. Good news is in time she will recover. As far as not wanting to be held, she doesn't sound too sure about trusting being held right now. That too may take some time with a lot of patience and understanding. If she seems close to normal, eating, playing, pottying ok, with the docs saying shes ok-give her some more time. If anything changes that isn't positive take her back to vet for reassignment. Hope this will help.

I am glad to hear Mija is doing better.

You'll be glad you followed your instincts if for no other reason than peace of mind. I hope all goes well.

I went through a time there a year or so ago that I seemed to have Maddie at the vet office every other week or so. My dh swore I was getting munchausen syndrome. At least my vet thought it was funny too.

I already saw some improvement, yesterday she started to have interest in her favourite toys again and she slept through the entire night stuck by my side like she did before. Hopefully all she needs is a little more time and she'll be back to noraml.

Great news! Thanks for keeping us updated and you have your piece of mind back.
