Concussion and brain contusion are diseases in which the skull is subjected to blunt violence, resulting in comprehensive damage to the cranial nerves, manifesting as coma, hyporeflexia or disappearance of reflexes and other brain dysfunctions.

A concussion is simply excessive shock to the brain tissue, with no visible lesions. However, brain contusions are more serious than concussions and are often accompanied by brain tissue damage, bleeding and edema.

Symptoms:

Concussion: falling to the ground in a coma for a moment, with reduced or lost consciousness and reflex functions, dilated pupils, slowed breathing, sometimes wheezing sounds, accelerated pulse, irregular pulse, sometimes vomiting accompanied by incontinence of urine and feces, etc.;< /p>

After a few minutes to a few hours, the sick dog will slowly wake up and its reflex function will gradually recover. At the same time, the muscle fibers of the whole body will contract, causing convulsions and spasms, and nystagmus. The sick dog will raise his head and look around. After many struggles, he finally stands up. .

Brain contusion: General brain symptoms are roughly similar to severe concussion, but the loss of consciousness lasts longer and recovery is slower. Due to scars formed by damaged brain tissue, some focal symptoms are often left behind, and epilepsy occurs.

Treatment:

When a dog suffers a serious blow to the head or even causes symptoms such as coma, seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying the condition.

Let the dog lie on its side, raise its head to keep breathing smooth, and apply a cold compress to the head with a water bag to prevent cerebral hemorrhage.

When improving cerebral hypoxia, oxygen can be given to the person to provide a quiet living environment for the dog during the treatment.

Prevention:

Pay attention to the safety of your dog, stay away from dangerous areas, and avoid beating, collision, falling, falling, and traffic accidents.
