I wouldn't wait until the morning to see the vet if Hazel is in great pain, she should see one now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
