Charma fell! Freaking out.

[MontyAndMelissa]

So, today was the first day charma, my 6 month old veiled, ever actually let me hold her, so I decided I would take her outside and let her bask in the sunlight. Well, some bratty kids came up, yelling and screaming about how cool she is and she freaked out. She very quickly ran up my arm and around my back, before I could catch her. I got her back in my hand, she was obviously stressed, so I started quickly walking into the house and she ran off my hand and fell onto the cement, about a four foot drop! I am really worried, I was literally crying. Is she going to be okay? I held her in my hand, not tight, but like cupped hands, and ran inside and put her back in her tank. She was very puffy, but doesn't seem hurt, should I be worried?!

Just keep close watch over her. If she is moving around without any obvious difficulty, she should be OK. Pay close attention to the arms and legs and look for any possible abnormalities in the bones that might indicate fractures.

If you see any possible signs of fractures or if you're really worried, I would take her to a vet.

She's walking just fine, been watching her arms, legs and tail, no lumps or abnormalities. It looked like she had a light bruise on her side, but it's not there today. Could have been dirt?
