I'm truly sorry to hear about your poodle's accident. The symptoms you're describing—such as wobbling, difficulty walking, and not being able to keep his eyes open—are very concerning and could indicate a serious injury, like a concussion or other head trauma. Given the severity of these symptoms and the fact that he landed on his head, it's crucial to seek immediate veterinary care.

Head injuries can be quite serious, and prompt evaluation by a veterinarian is essential to ensure there is no internal bleeding, swelling, or other complications that could worsen without treatment. A veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination and may recommend imaging studies, such as X-rays or a CT scan, to assess the extent of the injury.

Please take your poodle to the nearest veterinary clinic or emergency animal hospital as soon as possible. Time is of the essence in these situations to prevent any potential complications.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.

Right now he’s acting normal. I’m just trying not to let him go to sleep . He was only acting odd moments after it happened.

I'm glad to hear that Saint is acting normally now, but it's important to remember that head injuries can sometimes present delayed symptoms. It's great that you're keeping a close watch on him.

Make sure he is drinking water and eating normally. Any changes in his appetite or drinking habits should be noted and monitored closely.
Even though he seems fine now, I still recommend having him checked by a veterinarian.
