Pipp slipped off my chair. I feelhorribly guilty because I nudged her after shegrabbed mymouse and threw it on the floor.Normally shejumpsfrom the chair to the futon when I do that, this timeshe slipped off the chair onto the floor.She didn'tseem to land very hard, but it was in an unusual position.
She sat very still for a bit, then took about three hops, and hunkereddown where she was. I rattled the oat bag, and she didn'tmove (whichnormally for her means she'sdead).Okay, well she moved a little. Shestarted to hop towards me, then stopped and hunkered downagain. When I went to pick her up, she hoppedslowly under the dresser -- her 'I don't feel well' spot.
I carefully picked her up and put her on the bed. I couldn'tfind any one spot on her back or her legs that seemed to botherher. She licked me as usual. But sheobviously couldn't get comfortable -- she'd stretch out and then situp, and she'd have this weird arch thing (that looked like it was oddlyjust the rightside of her back, but I could bewrong). She's able to groom herself, I just saw her scratchher ear with her left back leg, so I don't think it's tooserious, but she still doesn't seemcomfortable.
I tried putting her in her carrier on the bed to restrict hermovements, but she got stressed and started yarding on the bars so hardshegot the door open and jumped off the bed while I wasgetting her some water. I put her back, but she was doing itagain, which certainly wasn't resting her spine or ribs or whatever itmay be, so I let her out.
Has anybody else had this happen?
