About my kitten, Maine, he's not well and idk what to do, please help me.
He fell from a tree (about 2-3 meters tall) this afternoon, he was unconscious for a while and i brought him to the vet immediately.
The vet said he had a concussion but everything else is fine. He shitted and peed himself on the way home a little bit but idk if it's his body or he's just scared being outsides with all the noises.
He refuses to eat and cant walk properly so i just feed him some sugar water little by little.
If the vet said he's fine, idk what else i can do but im so worried, he doesnt seem like he's in any pain at least.

He's watching bird video, he seems entertained.

Concussions make you nauseous for a while. I’m sure he will be just fine once he has a little more time to recover.

Call the vet with any changes or concerns in behavior.

Keep him warm and continue to check for any changes. Try to feed it soft food that be gentle on its tunny. It might be traumatized by the whole experience.

Poor pussy! As said above, concussions make you nauseous. Keep him hydrated and resting, and don't overdo the sugar. He should be eating by tomorrow. He probably needs a good sleep which is completely normal.

How is he doing? Please remind him that cats are graceful and always land on their feet.

@snowbeast Wait, aren't you supposed to NOT sleep with a concussion??

With very severe concussions, you should not sleep
Since the kitten was released from the vet he should be fine to sleep

@catfluff and@rydler No it's a myth, sleep usually helps you heal. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160616-should-you-let-someone-with-concussion-fall-asleep

Like anybody after they have a concussion, you're going to be very confused and dizzy. Cats are the same, food will be unappealing for awhile but try and keep his fluids up like everyone else said. He should be fine but if you're concerned go to the vet again, it's better to be safe than sorry. His head is probably pretty darn sore as well so be gentle when petting him. Considering it was a decent height his brain probably suffered some damage, hopefully only minor so he'll be out of it for a little while.

First and above all thing, thank you everyone for your support and kindness, it means the world to me and my lovely kitten who is a little stupid fuck but I love him anyways.

The update:
Bad news: I'm exhausted thanks to some fluffy boy I hardly slept last night.
Good news: he's fine now! Like he's really fine! He had some sleep, ate some pork broth and did his bathroom break when I took him out.
He also wanted to play catch at 4am...
He still walks a little funny but that's about it.
.
We fed him sugar water to keep him from getting dehydrated and running out of energy, the vet fed him some when he first woke up too.
