not sure if injured

Question
Hi, my hamster fell off of a two and a half feet table and it just stood still for ten seconds. Later it twitched a little and later it started to move. It then started to walk but the right leg and arm was kind of hurt since he couldn't walk with it. Ten minutes later it was walking right and made no sounds at all but the back legs are still very weak. What should I do now? Did it heal that quickly or is it going to have an effect on him later?

Answer
Hi Eudora,

He is probably very shocked and frightened about what happened, and so is probably still behaving a bit shocked now!

I would leave him for a day, and not pick him up to see if he recovers that way. If not and his legs still are not working properly, then i would suggest taking him to the vets to see if he has actually damaged something!! Once it is all healed, it should not have any future effect on him!

I hope this helps, and i hope he recovers,
Thank you,
Charlie.
