Alright, I was cleaning Lily's cage, and had to use the scraper to get the hay/poop off the bottom. Someone had spilled the water dish, so I was gathering that up, and Lily decided she didn't like it. She seemed really tense, so I stopped, let her investigate, and she seemed to calm down. As soon as I started using the scraper again, she ran to the edge of her cage, and JUMPED!! She seemed to realize about halfway over the cage wall that she had made a mistake, though, as she tried to catch herself with her hind feet. Unfortunately that did more harm than good, because instead of a normal arching, she managed to skew her body, and fall head first. She landed on the nest box, on the wall, and fell to the floor. I totally thought she was dead, because she seemed to have a small seizure, her whole body shaking for about 10 seconds then she laid still. I was just about to freak out when she rolled back onto her feet and sat there. She seems okay now, eating and drinking, moving normally, but I'm worried that she may have internal bleeding or something.
Does anyone know what I should expect because of this? Since she seems fine now, what are the chances that she simply stunned herself for a moment? I know that rabbits have easily broken bones, but would she still be moving around if there was serious damage? I know the obvious signs I should look for(trouble moving, blood, teeth grinding, screaming) but what else should I be watching for?
