I think my 15 month old dwarf hamster may have just hurt one of her legs.

One second she was happily playing jumping off a little log and the next she's on her back. I didn't actually see the fall but I was right next to her and she didn't squeak or anything.

Initially she seemed fine walking around on all four legs but then she tried to stand up on her hind legs, tipped to one side and ended up flat on her back again this seems to be happening everytime she tries to stand up.

She is otherwise happy sat in a corner stuffing her face now. The leg looks ok to me and she didn't seem too worried about me touching it.

What can i do to help her?
