My chihuahua puppy fell and is sleepy. Could it be a head injury?

Question

I have a 10 week old teacup chihuahua that weighs 0.9 lbs. She was just on my lap and she fell. When i saw her on the floor she was facing up, head to the side and unable to move. I quickly picked her up and she still wasn't able to move. i hugged her and she seemed to get better after a few minutes but kind of down and her eyes sort of closing. I don't know if it's just that she's sleepy. I went to give her food and she got excited and ate fine then went to sleep. Do you think she'll be okay?

If she is remaining sleepy, has poor balance or vomiting I would be concerned about a possible head injury and recommend she be assessed by a vet as soon as possible. Otherwise continue to monitor for food and fluid intake and ensure no rough play for the next 48 hours
