Poor Bayley. She just need a bit of time to settle down, follow your vet instruction reading meds and she will be better soon. I would wait till this afternoon and if she continues to be unsettled, not eating and lethargic I would have her re-checked. A stronger, injectable pain killer might be administered by your vet as well, if necessary. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.
