If the leg is injured and Farra can't use it, it's best to bring her to a vet. Falling can cause an injury such as a sprain or break that requires veterinary care in order to treat it, along with pain meds or other medications to help Farra feel better. If she is crying, she is likely in bad pain. Keeping her calm, quiet and not moving around much can help until you can get to your vet, but care ASAP is best.
