I accidentally closed the door on my dog stomach, I didn't see him there. I was wondering if any internal bleeding can happen?

There is a chance that could happen to Jim, but if you didn't close the door hard on his stomach, then it is not likely. You can monitor him for now, and if his stomach appears tender or he acts as if he is in pain, you can take him into the vet for a health check.
