Subject: Help! Frantic glider!

I took Eos with me on a long driving trip with me this week - she did fine in her smaller cage with her toys and things. When we got home last night, though, and I put her in her big cage, she was fine for about an hour, then she seemed to panic. She started barking (which she hardly ever does) and running frantically in circles on the walls. I went to see about her, and usually she runs to me when I open the cage and hops on my hand, but this time she continued to bark at me and hunched over in a corner. She has never continued to bark after I'm there with her. I coaxed her to me, then held her, but she kept barking (in my hand) for about 15 minutes. If I didn't cradle her to me, she would get frantic and try to run away. Finally, a while after she calmed down, I wrapped her in a shirt I had worn and she went to sleep and was quiet. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could have happened? I was afraid she had fractured a leg or something, but she seem to not be ill or anything. She didn't crab
when I picked her up this morning. Should I call the vet? Help! This is not her normal behavior.
Thanks for any advice,
Tiffany
