Accidently hurt my beardie! Help!

[madokamami]

I accidentally kneeled on her because she was under asleep under blanket. When I lifted the blanket up, she was really flat and opened her eyes and wouldn't let me touch her. I put her back in her tank and she fell back asleep in there. I checked on her about an hour later and she is VERY pale with a black beard. She's basically white. I have never seen her this pale, and she never black beards. She doesn't have too much of a problem with me touching her now, but she is still black bearding and pale. Please help me, I don't think I broke anything because she can walk fine and isn't making any noises, I'm just really horrified

First I would check her out very well. Let her run around in a well lit room to make sure everything appears to be okay and she's not showing any signs of pain. You can use your finger tips to press gently down her back to see if she acts like you've hit a sore spot. If she passes all the test chances are you didn't apply enough force to do any serious damage. It make have just been enough to irritate her and make her a little cranky. The black beard could also be a mixture of her being a little irritated and trying to warm up after being put back in her Viv.

Keep an eye on her. If she seems to be experiencing any pain or her behavior is not back to normal tomorrow it may be best to plan a vet visit just to be sure no damage was done

I think shes okay. She isn't upset anymore and is even trying to cuddle with me. Thank you for your reply, I was very scared that I had hurt her ?

I'm glad to hear she's okay. Sounds like she was sleeping and just wasn't happy with they way she was woken up lol. Thankfully it sounds like she forgives quickly
