Puppy hit head on floor, acting normal. Is a concussion possible?

Question

Hi there! New puppy that we got about three weeks ago. We were playing this evening and he slipped and bumped his head on the hardwood floor after jumping and missing a toy. He got scared, stumbled around for a bit, but now he’s back to running and playing. I assume he just stunned himself and got dizzy. We have a vet check up already scheduled for Friday. Any emergency concerns?? Thanks!! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 2 months and 25 days old | 4 lbs

Poor little Reggie. Since he's acting normally, I'd keep an eye on him for now. If you notice him getting dizzy again, has blood coming from his nose or ears, confusion, disorientation, difficulty walking, or abnormal eye movements, have him seen by a vet immediately. Otherwise, he should be ok.
