My dog slipped and made a loud sound after a walk in the rain. He seemed stunned and favored his right leg for a moment, but then ran around and ate a treat. He later sat on the couch shaking slightly, but now seems calm. Should I be concerned about a head injury, and what signs should I watch for?
