Sad..Cinnamon probably scared for life :-/

[Cinnamon]

Well Tonight we were bringing in the guinea pigs from inside,
I had Cinnamon in the Bathroom, and suddenly she jumps from my arms in fright, and flips as she falls, She quickly ran near the shower curtains, I picked her up and cuddled her, I know she will be a bit stressed right now, but She won't eat when I'm around, she won't stand on her hind legs like a kangaroo and want food, She just stares, and if you make a movement she bolts, its nearly been 6 months, and she was so happy, but now she is so anxious.
I'm in tears because, I don't want her to be like this.
You know how when you get a guinea pig from the Pet Shop and its all fritzy? Well this is exactly how she is now, She won't even talk in my ear like she did.

I know I sound really dumb, Oh shes just had a fall and really scared, I know she will be scared, But I hope she is better in the morning,

I late cuddled her saying things to her, like "Wheres my old Moni.."

Oh I know exactly how you feel my bumble did exactly the same in the garden a couple of weeks back but there was blood everywhere as well from a cut and grazing to her lips, she also lost a tooth from it so I've had her on metcam so she continues to eat properly.

I would consider a trip to the vets to get a good check over make sure theres no fractures or broken bones to put your mind at rest and no doubt you'll soon build the trust up again, shes had a very bad fright

Give her time to recover and don't crowd her too much for the time being; it will take a few days or weeks, depending on how much of a scare she got, but she will come round again. You will get there with patience and persistence. Just make sure that she is not injured.

Setbacks are always ever so frustrating! Big scares with skittish piggies have happened to me as well, but eventually, all of them have come round.

She has done this before but we didn't know and my brother saved her and she was fine.

I don't know if we even have a vet that does Guinea pigs, grrrr All they do is dogs and cats >:O

in that case just give her time, you'll soon notice if she can't use a leg properly for example and when she's a little less scared have a good feel for yourself and try check her front teeth if she will let you to make sure there's no damage there
