Yesterday morning I went out to greet Little Bun and Rex as I always do. I lean over, clap, and Little Bun comes running to say hello... I picked her up (as I always do), but yesterday, as I was petting her in my arms (I was holding her properly, and she is most always very very content to be loved), she pushed out with her legs, and fell to the ground. I'm a fairly tall person, about 5'8 or so, and I believe that she may have landed on her back.
I waited for her to start moving around, and though she showed a bit of hesitation, she wasn't limping or showing any signs of pain. I popped her back in the run, and she immediately sprinted a circle, then went to the hutch and just stayed there. She didn't seem quite right, but we figured it was just shock- like having the wind knocked out of you. Just in case, we took her inside to keep an eye on her, and though she didn't move around a lot, when she did she showed no signs of pain. Her eyes were clear, and she wasn't bleeding anywhere. I gently felt her ribs, etc, and she didn't flinch and nothing seemed broken.
Her appetite is still it's normal monsterous amount, and still ran to get her dried food in the evening. She has been drinking as well.
This morning, I went out to check up on them... leaned over and clapped, and little one ran straight to me to recieve her morning attention... I picked her up, and she didn't struggle or show any sign of pain. Just to make sure, I put a tiny amount of food in the bowl and shook it, and little one was down the ramp in about 2 hops to claim her share. Considering that she was there before Rex, and he was closer to the bowl, I consider myself lucky.
Although I will keep an eye on her for the next couple of days to make sure she is 100% perfect and OK, there are no words to say how relieved I am that my little Bun was not hurt or worse by this accident.
