Thank you. I have received your video and reviewed it. I cannot see the cut on her lip that you mentioned. Is she limping at all? Did she hit the floor after the jump?

Thanks so much. Based on what you've shared, it sounds like she is more than likely going to be just fine. If she were injured we should be seeing symptoms by now in the form of not wanting to eat, vocalizing in pain, not walking, limping, etc. Since she has none of these symptom and she is active and eating, I would simply watch her for the time being. If she should start having symptoms anytime in the next 24 hours or so, I would plan to see a vet but so far it sounds like she's more than likely going to be just fine.

I would strongly recommend moving to bathing her in a bath tub so that she is closer to the floor and less likely to be able to jump out of an elevated sink. She's been lucky to make it through two tumbles without injury. We often see bro***** *****mbs from this type of injury.

I will also be available if you become concerned at any time that she may need to see a vet. Just reply back if you have concerns.

I do want to make sure that we will both be leaving this interaction feeling like we’ve addressed your concern effectively. Would you say that you are comfortable with the next steps we’ve established together? If not, please let me know how I can best assist you. Our chat does not end until you’re completely done asking questions on this topic.
