This very thing happened recently with Ruby. She wriggled right out of my arms and fell to the tile floor. At first she acted like she couldn't walk just right. Called the vet, said I'm on my way. Ran to change from my grungy sweats to jeans. That took literally 30 seconds. By that time she was already up and walking. Called the vet back, he said, "if she is walking around and not in pain, she is probably all right. Watch her overnight and if she is still okay in the morning, don't bring her in." He suggested I give her aspirin, (I forget now how much) just in case she was a little sore.
I was careful before, but now I'm fanatical about holding her and how, who, when........lol
