Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 13 days old

My puppy fell down from the couch to the floor (no carpet and about a foot and a half in height). She seems fine cause she's playing with my other dog but I'm worried she hurt herself somewhere. What do I do?

Poor Naila! I'm glad to hear that she is playing and active after the fall. Fortunately, falling from the couch is a relatively short distance. At this point, since Naila is active with no signs of pain or injury, there is nothing you need to do. However, closely watch her over the next day or so to make sure she continues moving around normally, acting normally, and is eating and drinking appropriately. If you observe any changes, she should see a vet for an exam. I hope that all goes well!
