Millie decided to launch herself at the kitchen side this morning while free ranging. She didn't make it up and fell down, hitting their pen that was up on the way down and onto the floor. I gave her a fuss which was worrying as normally she wouldn't let me but then hopped off normally and started digging in her box. She went crazy for her pellets and was eating hay as I left for work. Mum is going to check on her at lunchtime. Is there anything else I should be looking out for? Felt horrible having to go to work but she looked fine when I left. It looked like a horrible fall :?

Mum checked her at lunch and she ate some carrot, my mum is always trying to sneak them treats! She was eating hay when I got home. They've had some fenugreek crunchie and climbed all over me as usual. They both seem a bit quiet tonight but are flopped out looking happy enough.

Hopefully she will be fine. Unfortunately though my French lop, just jumped off a dining room chair, which isn't usual for him at all.
I did take him to the vets to be checked over just to be on the safe side, and I am so glad that I did, as he has actually fractured his pelvis, and is now on strict cage rest and pain meds for 8 weeks. It may well have been worse, him being a much bigger, ungainly bun, but if you have any concerns at all, I guess get the vet to examine her, just to be absolutely certain all is well.

Aw thanks. She didn't do much running around last night, but I was late home (had to go to doctors and was there for an hour for all of a 2 minute appointment :evil
so they may have been a bit grumpy about that, Maddie was a bit quite last night too. I let them out this morning and Millie was her usual self really, digging on the sofa, binkying and flopping. She is hopping normally and has definitely been eating and pooing same as usual.
I know bunnies are renowned for trying to hide pain but I don't think she would binky if she was hurting?
