My kitten fell, acting normal but has a head bump. Concussion risk?

Question

I 2 14 to 15 week old kittens and one jumped off of the top of our kitchen cupboard and took a hard fall. He's playing and acting like normal and I poked him a bit to see if he had any sore spots and he seemed fine but he has a little red bump/scrape on his head above his eyes. He seems despite that but I'm a little worried. Will he be ok? Is there risk of concussion? Sorry about the pictures it's hard to get them to stay still for long. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I understand your concern! Cats are resilient! If Forbes isn't limping and is acting like himself he is probably fine. If he had a concussion you would have known right away! I would monitor him through out the day and if anything changes have him seen by your Veterinarian. The scrape from the fall will heal! I hope this helps and have a great day!
