My 6-week-old puppy got hit by a falling object. Is he okay?

Question

My 6 week old puppy was walking around when my sister bumped our coffee table and a small bike helmet fell on him. He whined a little but hes been nornal the rest of the day. Should he be okay? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 2 lbs

Yes, I think he’ll be fine. Luckily puppies are very resilient and many minor injuries heal quickly in young animals. If there was a serious head injury he would be lethargic, not responsive or not eat or drink normally. He may have some discomfort on his head for a day or so but probably no lasting issues.
