My chihuahua fell, seems fine. When should I take her to the vet?

Question

I dropped my baby chihuahua on the linoleum about 2 feet down. She is acting normal, but I'm worried that there is a hidden problem. Do you think I should take her to the vet and get her examined, or she is just fine and I've got nothing to worry about? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | 2 months and 16 days old | 5 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Ellie landed on her feet and is walking and acting fine, then it would be ok to monitor for now and bring her to the veterinarian if you notice any lameness or any abnormalities like loss of appetite or something like that. However, if she landed on her head then it would be best to have her examined by a veterinarian to make sure she is ok since she is so small. Good luck and have a good night! Hoping that she is just fine!
