Our adorable Paisley got squirrelly when I was tucking her in for the evening (letting her fall asleep on me... usually this is something she throws a tantrum about if she doesn't get to do it), so she ran off of me and them jumped off of the couch. This is only about an 18" drop, but she definitely didn't do it gracefully, and onto hardwood flooring.
Afterwards she ran away, then turned around and began just sort of flailing in place. I moved her to the carpet and she calmed down, wild-eyed and breathing heavy and darkest black beard I have seen... but very alert, and didn't seem to be limping or moving strangely. After that ordeal, she was perfectly content to fall asleep on me, and her beard faded a bit to gray, but then when we tried to put her in her bed, she was dark black and wide-eyed again.
Not sure what to do... wait until morning to see if still dark bearding? And if so... then what? Vet x-ray? I gently touched parts of her body and nothing seemed to make her wince or wiggle, but these little fellas hide their pain so much sometimes...
PS. She just laid 23 eggs this past week, so I also get nervous that she could be more fragile than usual...
