My little 9 week old got up to the 3 step of the stairs and fell down and bumped his head is what the story is from my wife but im really worried about him. Should i be worried?!

Is he acting normally? If he starts to show any signs of pain or acting out of the ordinary, I would take him to the vet. If he's OK just keep an eye on him. Hope all is OK!

well all morning he has been more tired and lazier then usual. Might be cuz of our circumstances. me and my girlfriend are splitting time with him at 2 different houses and last night and today were his first days here.

Any pup that young with possible head trauma would do best seen by a vet. JMHO

Where are my manners... Hello and Welcome to YT!

Yorkie pups should still be with their Moms and littermates, until they are 12 weeks old. Best care for him would be to stay at one home until he's a bit older, about 12-16 weeks, as they need to be supervised closely when that young, and when eyes are not on him, an xpen or pac-n-play would be best for him to stay in to keep him from harm. Again, JMHO.

I think it's not a good idea to be moving a puppy from one home to another. They have enough trouble understanding and trying to learn their new world when in one home. I would have him checked by a vet.

If you need to move him from place to place, you can make it easier on him by taking some familiar things along. A bed, maybe a blanket, his toys. Tallulah didn't have any issues going to Yorkie Camp every day, but for the first few weeks I made sure she had a little blanket that I slept with so she had my scent.

Um... first your wife and then your girlfriend? Is there a story here?
