Hello, it sounds like Jinxx is ok from what you're describing. Signs of more severe injuries may include lameness, vocalizing, hiding, pain, decreased appetite. If Jinxx seems to be aware of everything and is acting like her normal self then she should be ok. If you note any of these signs then contact your veterinarian and have her evaluated. She may need an x-ray to rule out a fracture. Hope this helps and best of luck.
