Poor Meadow. I would not be concerned as long as meadow is eating,drinking and acting normally. However, if she seems disoriented, sleepy or having any neurologic signs like seizures I would recommend taking her to the vet as soon as possible for a good physical exam and possible medications. i hope that helps
