Puppy stepped on stomach, screamed. What should I do if he's fine?

Question

My puppy accidentally got stepped on and it was on the side of his stomach. It was not a deep step as my friend was able to move when he heard the puppy scream. What should I do or what should I give him? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months old | 13 lbs

Oh no, poor Lioh! I see your post was about six hours ago, and if Lioh is in pain, having trouble moving or breathing, or is very lethargic, then I would have him seen by an ER vet immediately. If there isn't an ER vet clinic in your area, then there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to find that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. If Lioh is behaving normally, eating and drinking, and going to the bathroom normally, then he is likely fine :-)
