Vet. No one here can tell you what is wrong with your dog, but it doesn't sound good.

I agree with others in that it sounds like nerve, back or leg injury. It could even be that she tumbled off a bed or couch and is sore.
She really should see a vet if these symptoms last more than an hour or two.
I say that time frame because I have a Maltese and he tends to completely freak out if anything, no matter how minor is uncomfortable for him.
When I am brushing him, he acts like I have murdered him if I have to get a mat out. I use a very sharp mat comb and hold the hair by the root so there is very little pulling.
Same thing with baths. If the water hits him the wrong way, he screams like a banshee.

There is no way to diagnose a dog with that little info. A vet would need to see her and do a full exam and possibly x-rays.
This does sound possibly serious and your dog should be taken immediatley to the vets. I wouldn't make an appointment just go and be worked in.

She may have arthritis or some other type of back pain. I had a beagle with similar issues when she was around that age. You should definitely bring her to the vet. There are various types of medications that you can get for the dog.

You switched her food? Did you gradually change her over to a new food? Or did you just change it one day? When you take her to the vet make sure you mention that to the vet as well.

Def. take her to a vet. She is obviously in pain and the vet is the only person that is going to be able to help you.

She definitely needs to be evaluated by a vet. I would be suspicious that she has some type of back injury. She acting as though she is in great pain.

This sounds like something that is best answered by a vet - take her in and have a thorough check.

This is not some thing that can be answered by any of us.You need to take her to the vet. It sounds like she like she is in pain and it may be serious.
