My 8-week puppy jumped. Should I be worried about his sleepiness?

Question

My 8 week old puppy jumped from my arms today and he has been sleepy a lot since then. He does wake up to eat and drink then goes back to sleep. Should I be worried? I wake him up every so often to check on him. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1.4 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to pain or discomfort as he could have hurt himself. However, it could also be coincidental. If he is otherwise doing well without limping, I think it would be ok to monitor him for now. However, if he develops a limp or any other signs such as crying in pain, inappetence or continued lethargy, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check him for any evidence of pain and treat him based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!
