6yr female jumped and landed right on her chin. About 2 ft fall. Knocked her out. About 20 mins of her being in a daze before she was able to get up and crawl. Vet said she is ok, no spine damage or any observed issues. Been 48 hrs and she still a little lethargic and out of it. Eye movement, makes eye contact/recognition (throat pumps), but at times just seems to be "hurt". She is eating and poop'in normally. Anyone got care suggestions? Meds, therapy, helmet...

If you are feeling that she isn't doing well you should call the vet that saw her and ask them about your concerns..

Helmet, LOL!

She probably does hurt, she's 6 and she fell, her whole body probably aches. As long as nothing is broken she probably just needs some time to recover. I would try a warm bath, little warmer than usual and that might help make her muscles and bones feel better. Make sure though that in her laziness that she doesn't put her head in the water.
