My dog jumped from car window. Now sleepy, not eating. What's wrong?

Question

My dog jumped out of my car window while going about 30-35 mph. He seems fine. Walking, running and jumping fine. This was yesterday. Today he is sleeping alot and nibbling his food here and there. No other symptoms. What could be wrong? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 year old | 23 lbs

Max may be feeling the effects of the jolt he received after jumping out of the window. Many times after an injury, they get a jolt of adrenaline and can initially mask the pain they feel. I would monitor him closely and if it persists or worsens, I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian. If you do feel like he is painful, I would recommend getting an exam by a veterinarian in order to prescribe pain medication that is safe for dogs. I don't recommend giving human over-the-counter medication such as aspirin, Tylenol or ibuprofen as these can have serious side effects in animals. I hope the Max feels better soon!
