My dachshund puppy jumped off couch. Should I worry about his back?

Question

Hi my 8 week old mini dachshund puppy just jumped off the sofa . He whined but seems fine now . I’m just worrieed he may have hurt his back because I know the problems dachshunds can have , Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Male | unneutered

Dachshunds can sure hurt their backs but honestly it is not that common to happen in a young 8 week old puppy. If he seems fine and not in pain then he is probably fine. When they injure their back they are very obviously in pain. If you are truly worried about Lenny there is no harm in having your vet check him out. Obviously I have not examined him so I can only try to give the best advice based on the information you provided. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
