My puppy jumped and landed hard. What signs of injury to watch for?

Question

Is there any sign or symptoms that my 5 month old standard poodle pup should show? She jumped from 2.5 ft due to her miscalculation. She landed on both her front legs and lower jaw, she never cried, she ate fine, drank fine, I checked her jaw, seems fine too. What should I be watching for any abnormal symptoms?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She should be fine! Especially since she didn't cry, isn't limiting and is acting fine. Sometimes they will feel sore the next day. So I would watch for limping, stiffness or lethargy. But I would be surprised if she shows any symptoms. Good luck!
