Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without seeing Missi it is hard to say what is causing her pain. I recommend taking her to the vet to feel her limbs and spine and possibly take xrays to look for fractures or displacements. Please do not give any over the counter medications as this can cause different problems and could be toxic to your pet. Good luck and kisses to Missi!
