Because diagnosing an animal concussion is harder than diagnosing a human concussion. Animals can’t tell you if they have a headache, light sensitivity, nausea, etc. You would only be able to diagnose the worst class 3 concussions where the animal can’t even walk straight. It’s probably not ethical to subject animals to that much pain if you can’t even confirm half of the injuries.



Aren't concussions visible in MRI?
