Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 15 days old

My 6 weeks old kitten fell from my shoulder, she fell on her side, then started hiding and when i picked her up again she screamed, then she almost fainted, i shook her up and she woke up, finally i held her, wiped her face with a damped towel till she relaxed and took a nap, and when she woke up i took her to her mother, she seems fine and not injured but i feel that she's still in shock, because she's really quite and is still...i'm also shaken about this and i'm really worried...please help.

I'm quite concerned that Finn appeared to pass out. I would have her seen by a vet immediately, as she could have suffering internal injuries from the fall. She needs veterinary attention now, please bring her into a vet.
