My dog pressed his head against my face about 1.5 hours after Botox. Could I have messed up my Botox results?

I got a Botox touchup today. Very minimal, I think only a few units mid brow-ish. About 1.5 hours after injection I was petting my dog and he pushed his head up against mine. It was right between my brows. Not sure if he pressed against my injection sites but it was close. It wasn’t hard or like a headbutt, but I did feel it and immediately backed away. I was told not to touch it for 4 hours so now I’m a bit worried. Could I have messed up my Botox? Or am I just being ridiculous?
