My turtle climbed from his tank while I was out and when I walked in he jumped 4 and a half feet head first onto hardwood floor. the edge of his shell chipped where he hit, but he seems fine and is acting normal. Could he have a concussion? Should I take him to the vet?

How bad is the chip? Was it bleeding? I'd have a few vets researched in case you need them. Any other symptoms?
