Your puppy might be okay after the fall, but internal injuries are not always immediately obvious. To ensure your puppy's well-being, it is always safest to have him checked by a vet.
- Observe your puppy for any signs of pain or distress.
- Consult a vet to rule out any internal injuries.
- Monitor your puppy’s behavior for any changes.
While your puppy seems to be moving around okay, accidents can sometimes cause injuries that are not immediately visible. It's important to look out for any unusual behavior or symptoms such as reluctance to move, whimpering when touched, or changes in appetite. These could indicate that further medical attention is needed. Having a veterinarian examine your puppy is the best way to ensure he's perfectly healthy and to give you peace of mind.
