Canine concussion treatment depends largely on how severe the injury is, and also what symptoms are displayed by the dog. The main concern is to make sure that there are no obstructions to the dog’s breathing airway, the brain gets the oxygen it needs, and treating any inflammation or swelling to the brain if so observed. Should there be an imbalance to the fluid-electrolytes, intravenous fluid administration may be necessary to correct that imbalance. An anticonvulsant may also be administered if seizures are manifested by the dog. Blood pressure will be monitored constantly.
Since there are symptoms that take time to manifest, a veterinarian is most likely to advise that patients that could potentially have an injury to the brain matter be clinically confined for observation. And even after discharged, a concussed dog must be monitored closely. Avoid vigorous exercises in the meantime.
If your pet has taken a head blow, immediately seek veterinary assistance and promptly proceed to the nearest animal clinic San Antonio, TX.
