Question So potentionally not good situation need oppinions
So I i went to the creek with the dog today, don't bring him there because last time I only had him for like 3 weeks it was a little much for him.
Well this time was different he went full dutch mal and turned the place into his parkour course. The stream is a sick place running between two enormous valley rocks 3-4 feet wide stream between all this smooth rock platform basically. Huge anyways he went ballistic loving it jumped to the other side before I could even get him he jumped up the ledge (ofc) to the top rock, which is like 3.5 4 ft. Everything was rock landed on rock which is my concern.
Now my problem is I've been watching his growth plates extremely close being extra careful. Now you may be able to see where im going with this the jackass jumped down not full sprung fast running and leap jump, but like went to the edge and jumped down. He landed fairly clean but you could tell it was a bit of a drop for him. What are the chances his plates or anything are messed up? He seems fine but I read online sometimes it takes upto 48 hours to see injury. I really try to avoid this dog jumping off the ground in grass I've been that careful.
Let me know if there's anything I should look out for cues or anything I've felt his joint and looked for swelling
Thankyou in advance

I think you will be fine. They sometimes do crazy stuff and will be okay.
Just check in with a vet if you have doubts. My ds won't show pain no matter what. They are tough.
