What to do if my chihuahua hit her head and might have a concussion?

Question

My little chihuahua hit her head on a piece of furniture while she was playing, she must've hit her head so hard she yelped! I have no money for X-rays and want to know if she has a concussion and what I can do for her? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old

IF kismet is eating,drinking, being active and using the restroom I would just recommend monitoring her closely at home. We do not typically diagnose concussions in veterinary medicine. Typically if a dog hits there head they are fine. My only concern with a chihuahua is that they can still have a open spot on there head. If they hit this region it can cause a seizure. If you feel like Kismet is acting lethargic or having seizure activity I would recommend taking her to an emergency clinic for observation. Other wise just monitor at home
