Poor Frida! She could have injured her spine, hips, or back legs, or she could have disc disease in her spine. I would have her seen by a vet first thing in the morning for a lameness exam and x-rays. These tests can help identify where her pain is coming from, what's causing it, and then the vet can discuss treatment options with you.
