Crazy dogs! :) If they are acting okay and not coughing or walking funny then they are probably okay. I would make sure their gums are pink and not blue, purple, or white. Also watch them closely for any labored breathing. If you are worried or just unsure about how they are, it never hurts to have at least an exam done on them to make sure they are okay. I obviously cannot see them so I cannot say for sure one way or the other. I hope this helps!
