My 10 week puppy fell off the couch which isn’t a long fall I heard a loud thump but he didn’t cry he was shaking when I picked him up I didn’t see if he fell on his head or not but he was on his feet when I saw him now he is acting sleepy and is sleeping right now his pupils looked fine he was trying not to walk but when he did it seemed fine and he didn’t look seriously injured

Poor Louie! Keep a very close eye on him. If he appears dizzy or disorientated, has trouble walking, blood from the nose or ears, is painful, or is very lethargic, you must take him into a vet immediately.
