Common Questions and Answers about Symptoms of concussion in kittens

concussion

Avatar n tn They also all seem to show a lack of muscle mass on the hind legs. On one of these kittens, the symptoms were explained as a heart murmur, but the other kitten does not have a heart murmur. She is negative not only for respiratory viruses, but also for blood born viruses. None of the other kittens show these symptoms, and my vet and I are both stumped. I was wondering if anyone had ever experienced anything like this.
Avatar f tn It is abundantly clear that in some cases concussions may result in seizures. That is not a "theory". It is a medical fact. It doesn't require "discussion". But not all concussions result in a seizure. There can be varying degrees of damage depending on the severity off the blow, where the impact takes place, and from resultant swelling, and if there is a delay in seeking medical attention. A "concussion" is not a "concussion".
Avatar n tn Because those are symptoms of concussion and he still may need vetrinary care. If you are doing it this month anyway. Why not go now just to be safe?
Avatar f tn I diagnosed concussion because I had pretty much all the symptoms of one. And I didn't go to the hospital for two reasons 1) I didn't feel like trusting my driving skills after that 2) I did a typical test for "serious" head trama (watching what your eyes do, how long you can focus on things ext) so I knew it wasn't "serious" so I didn't think to go. I know thats bad but what can I say.
Avatar m tn she had an emergency c-section last december bc her uterus detached. oh btw her kittens seem fine and dont see to be catching any of her symptoms, even my other three cats arent sneezing or anything. thank you !
Avatar f tn I was wondering if there is another condition that had similar symptoms to post concussion syndrome. I have all of the most commonCommon coldsymptoms such as fatigue, nausea, migrains, mood swings, difficulty concentrating and remembering, but I also loss blocks of time, I pass out, and often experience some numbnessNumbness and tinglingon one side of my body. Could I have something other than Post Concussion Syndrome, and if so what?
Avatar f tn The next day it wasnt bothering me too bad so I didnt go to the doctor to see if i did have a concussion. Well ever since that weekend, i have pressure headaches on the right side of my head. It hurts on the right side of my neck too and around my ear area, but this is on the right side not the left where i got hit. I've been trying to figure out what might be wrong or if it's just an allergy headache that i get everyday. I havent been to the doc yet, not sure if its serious enough..
Avatar f tn Immediately after my performance I went to the athletic trainer who performed an assessment and asked what my symptoms were. Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state. I went to a concussion specialist who performed an impact test on me and diagnosed me with a concussion. A couple weeks later I got cleared but soon after I started experiencing severe sensitivity to light and my vision seemed to worsen.
Avatar n tn Im thinking of any hormonological problem,or maybe an oldest injury in the back of my head(15 y ago) with concussion and speech-words disorder for the first time.Do you think of anything?Any suggestions?Thank you all.
Avatar n tn We have some kittens about 6 weeks old and they have been acting lethargic and having green ***** eyes and diarrhea. One of our adult cats (not their mother) has symptoms of Feline Leukemia? and I am concerned about these kittens. Is there anything we can do for this? Is there any treatments available that is not real expensive that can be administered to them? Please advise. Thanks.
Avatar m tn A doctor generally looks for focal neurological or generalized neurological symptoms that would show there is a pressure on brain somewhere. In absence of these symptoms and based on the history a diagnosis of concussion is given. If concussion is severe, and there is underlying brain injury, then yes, even death can occur. Hope this helps! Take care!
Avatar f tn re supposed to take it easy after a concussion and orgasm raises your BP and all. Most of my symptoms of the concussion have gone away, aside from double vision. Thoughts?
Avatar m tn is that normal? are those symptoms of concussion? will they go away alone with time? should i see a doctor?
Avatar n tn i had 2 litters of kittens that were nursing off of the same mother and all of them died and their symptoms included: diarrehia, then they got weak and couldnt walk and their bodies got cold and they would meow as they were dying an di was just wanting to know what this sounded like?? I am not sure about the diseases and symptoms in cats/kittens and i would appreciate any info u have.
Avatar n tn I had an MRI & there was no swelling. I was cleared to begin workouts & started my freshman year of college. I am in the AFROTC so I work out hard every day, take vitamins & drink a gallon of water daily. It has been about 5 months since my injury & I am getting headaches every day at the same time. Could this be from the concussion? Should I have it checked out before I go back to school next week?
Avatar m tn I live out in the country and there are alot of strays running around as well as poisons.
Avatar n tn If he is seizing non-stop in spite of medication, then euthanasia would be a blessing. There is obviously a lot of brain swelling or even bleeding going on causing the seizures. Did you vet tell you: 1. how often the seizures are occurring; 2. what medications are on board and the dosages; 3. results of xrays or any other imaging studies; and 4. the feasability of sending him to an intensive care referral hospital?
Avatar n tn Is it possible that they have this, we have another adult female that has had diarrhea but no other symptoms and last year we had a litter of kittens a few of them died within a couple of weeks of birth but then some of them seemed to develop symptoms but grew out of it. Would you have any idea what we could be dealing with and what can be done? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn re now several years after the fact and the same area that was tender immediately following the concussion is STILL tender to the touch, with various other symptoms present. I will be going in for additional imaging in the coming weeks, but my question is, is this normal? Is it a sign of something more serious, like a brain tumor? Can concussions even cause brain tumors? Thanks for any and all help. I'm just nervous for the imaging and possible findings, so seeking input here.
Avatar m tn my father was in a motorcycle accident and hit the right front side of his head and can now not taste or smell anything he can tell hot cold but not salt or sugar when will this come back?
Avatar m tn Hiya. I need advice on a small 5wk old kitten. I found a litter of kittens who had been dumped on waste ground. (It is sooo upsetting when we have the RSPCA center and the PDSA within a mile or so.People are so cruel to just dump and leave them totally vulnerable to the elements and dogs foxes etc) Two of the kittens were dead and the remaining two were really ill. Took them straight to my vets and the kittens had two lots of anti-biotics. They both had a high fever of 40'5.
Avatar m tn Since January this year, I have experienced star bursting in both of my eyes, both eyes starburst differently, haloes when looking at bright lights or even dim light and ghosting at pretty much any time of day. I am unsure what to do as I feel the symptoms MAY be progressing. It is quite annoying at night as the contrast between light and dark seem to exadurate the star bursting, haloes and ghosting I am experiencing.
