turning in circles

one week after concussion my 14 week malteese turns in circles all day what can this be.

Karla is correct, this puppy needs to be re-checked by your vet.  Circling can indicate a stroke, and since there was a head injury, it could mean there is bleeding somewhere in the brain or a bloodclot as a result of the injury that caused the concussion.  Chances are, in a very young dog like this, as long as the problem is caught and managed there will be no serious permanent damage, but the circling at this stage of the game is definitely cause for concern.  Please let us know what the vet says.

Welcome...Bless his/her heart! What happened?
This is normally a Neurological Issue due to injury to the brain & nervous system from head trauma....In your case (One week later) sounds as if the swelling has not been brought under control...The Vet that diagnosed the "Concussion" should have given an Anti-inflammatory (Usually steroids) to help with the inflammation.

You need to return to your Vet today & have your puppy checked again.....The chances are greater to reverse the damage with the proper medications from your Vet.....It will take time to heal.....Some damage cannot be reversed, but you sure need to try.....Call your Vet & good luck, Karla
