My puppy was hit by a ball. Are her closing eyes a sign of injury?

Question

My puppy got hit on the neck by a ball. Her eyes have been closing, her night more than her left. (not fully, it looks like she is really tired). So we let her sleep it off. It stopped for a while but it is starting to happen again. Im really worried. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female

I'm really worried that there may have been a traumatic brain injury with what you are describing. I think the best thing to do is have her evaluated by a vet as soon as possible. The fact that this problem has not gotten worse is encouraging that this is not too severe, but sometimes these injuries can quickly become life threatening. The vet will be able to further investigate this problem and help give an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. I hope that helps and Maddie gets better soon.
