OMG, how frightening! Are you sure Moses shouldn't be seen by a vet? He could have internal injuries. It would be a good idea to get Moses a harness. I have one for Scamp, my 2-yr old chi. When he gets to go for short car rides, he wears his harness. A leash is attached and then the other end of the leash gets attached to the passenger seat. I wrap it so that Scamp can barely reach me. He had the habit of trying to get in my lap while I was driving and I couldn't handle the steering wheel properly. So out came the harnesss and leash.
