It sounds like Trixie Roxie Jones is in a lot of pain. I think you need to take her to the veterinarian immediately to figure out what is wrong. She may have injured her back or have severe pain in her abdomen. A urinary blockage is also a potential and this can be lethal if not treated immediately. Best of luck and I hope Trixie gets relief soon!
