My dog suddenly avoids stairs, jumping, and is quiet. Is she okay?

Pet's info: Dog | Cocker Spaniel | Female | spayed | 3 years and 9 months old

My dog is reluctant to go up/down stairs and also to jump up. She has been like this since yesterday afternoon. She is eating and drinking as normal. She went to the toilet as normale last night. She is quieter than normal. I'm really worried about her. Thanks

Restrict Seren's activity for a day or two. Leash walk only for elimination and avoid or prevent excessive running. jumping or rough play. If she doesn't improve, worsens or develops additional symptoms, see your veterinarian for an exam and diagnostics.
