She fell off my lap...

[Inarikins]

But she doesn't seem to be hurt at all. It was maybe three feet from my lap to the laminate wood floor and she seemed to fall right onto her belly. I tried to catch her but was too late. What should I be looking for if she did get hurt? She was moving through my hands without any trouble at all right afterward, but what would be some signs I should be looking for if I need to take her to the vet?

Once I went to a local breeder and a small child held a BP and he dropped the BP on to the hard floor, and all that happened was the BP become super aggressive.

[Inarikins]

Well she's not aggressive. She was passively laying in my lap and now she's really moving, trying to climb the kitchen cabinets.

I am not an expert on anything like this so don't take what i say about it 100%.

But check for any kinks I would say?
try and straighten her out to see if she is straight or if there is any kind of kinks

and if she is feeding well and doesn't seemed stressed then she must be fine.

Shell be fine. If she's moving fine and doesn't seem Hurt she'll be alright.
Them falling even from us standing up isn't a good thing but it's not as bad as we think it is. It's like us tripping and falling. Not like us jumping off of a four story building as people tend to think. You feel worse about it than she does. She doesn't even remember.

She's fine. I had one drop off my neck onto concrete and give herself a good scare a couple years ago, and then she hissed at me every time I picked her up for a year after that.

But a 3 foot fall is generally not a big deal: I have a het pied that keep charging off the kitchen table because he's decided that's the fastest way down. Usually they have pretty good control over any fall that's within 50% of their length.

If she's acting normal, then she's okay.

I figured I was worrying for nothing but she ate her rat pup tonight without any issues. Didn't see any kinking or anything - she was running straight through my hands and even tried to head for the floor again more than a few times. Thanks for assuaging my fears, guys. I'd feel horrible if she'd gotten hurt because of my terrible catching reflexes.
