I am very sorry to hear that Amber is not herself, For the time being I would continue to monitor at home. She may be feeling slightly under the weather, and more signs are to follow soon. Or perhaps, something has simply frightened her and she will return to herself in a few hours. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, inappetence or lethargy please post another question so that I may help you further.
