Thank you for submitting your question regarding Squeaker. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian today as he could have sustained serious injuries. If his normal veterinarian is still not able to see him, then I would try another hospital or emergency clinic. You need to rule out an broken bones and internal injuries. He could also be painful as well. Do not give over-the-counter pain medication as these can be toxic to dogs. In the meantime, keep him quiet to allow his body to rest. Encourage him to eat and drink. Good luck!
