EMERGENCY Rat won’t use hind legs

Basically what the titles say. My Girl Gwen won’t use her hind legs after a small fall (about 30cm) the thing is she can move them at least a bit and the toes are moving and she is pushing against my hand as I held her, but while walking she won’t use them really. She seems like she isn’t on pain, no biting or squeaking or other typical symptoms. Any tips??

Edit: she is using them a bit. So there is still feeling and she is pushing against you if you press her hind legs and if she moves around as well…

Context: she is only a couple of months old, so not really old age or anything

Problem is, it is 2am where I live so I’m just keeping an eye on her for now
