My dog was hit by a door and didn't cry. Could he still be hurt?

It can be difficult to tell for sure if your dog is in pain, however I'd have to say given the recent events (the door slamming on him) and his inability to settle (wandering the house) it's likely that he is. Hopefully he sustained just a bit of muscular trauma that's leading to soreness, but if he isn't completely back to normal at this point (i.e. he's comfortable and you can easily pick him up and interact with him without him showing signs of pain) then I would for sure take him in to see his vet, as he could have broken a rib, and that injury can have serious consequences, such as puncturing lung tissue.

There is a chance that could happen to Jim, but if you didn't close the door hard on his stomach, then it is not likely. You can monitor him for now, and if his stomach appears tender or he acts as if he is in pain, you can take him into the vet for a health check.

Hi there. No, not necessarily - dogs often don't cry or whine when they're in pain, so this is not a reliable indicator of whether something is wrong or now. If your pup is limping or holding up her leg, I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam and possible x-rays.

Ouch, poor Mimi! Given that she's been acting normally and sleeping since, I would not be worried about it. It probably hurt her and startled her to get hit, but if she was seriously injured, there would be signs such as abnormal behavior, difficulty walking, and blood from her nose among others. She's likely fine, but if you are very concerned, it's certainly ok to have her checked out by a vet :-)

He should be just fine. If he was going to be injured you would know by now. I would not be too worried. Just keep a good eye on him and if he starts limping or acting sick then get him to your vet for an exam but honestly, I think he will just be fine. No worries! Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Oh no, poor Roscoe! Accidents happen, and likely getting hit did hurt him but if he's not showing any pain when you press on his ribs, he's likely ok. Keep an eye on him for now, and if he is limping in the morning, becomes lethargic or anorexia, if his chest area appears swollen, or the area becomes painful to the touch, I would have him seen by a vet.

Poor Ryleigh! If all of these symptoms are new since he was accidently hit by the door, then I would strongly recommend to have a vet look at him. They can take x-rays if needed to ensure there isn't any bones broken. With him being older, I would also worry about arthritis. Your vet will be able to determine what meds would help him feel better. If you don't already, I would also put him on some joint supplements. I really liked dasuquin, flexadin with UC-II, and even duralactin. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better really soon!
