I am sorry to hear that your pet suffered such a traumatic event. Brain trauma is quite serious and the prognosis (chance of survival) of your pet can only be evaluated and determined by the vet who physically examined him unfortunately. We cannot make that determination, but we can tell you that brain trauma is crucial in the first 24-48 hrs and if his mental and neurological functions are still intact (once he is un-sedated) and if they can control any intracranial hemorrhage before it has permanent nerve damage, then prognosis is promising for a potential recovery. Keep Monster hospitalized and continue to inquire about your pets current condition so that you are informed on his progress every step of the way.
