Thanks for reaching out about Juliet. What might have happened is a little bit of shock, was flying and hit the table hard. Took a little time to recover from the trauma. The liver is the shock organ and if compromised, recovery can be slower. If situation recurs, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
