My dog is limping, shaking, not eating. Is something stuck in her paw?

Question

Yesterday my dog was totally fine; but today she has been limping, shaking, holding her paw off of the ground, and not acting like herself. She also didn’t eat or drink as much today as she usually does. At first I thought it was arthritis, but now I’m skeptical that she may have stepped on something and it became lodged in her paw. I don’t see anything, but she pulls her paw away from me every time I check. Could something stuck in her foot be causing all of this? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | 13 years and 1 month old

Yes, it is very possible that there is something stuck in the foot even if you can't see anything, but it could still be arthritis, a foot injury or even a local inflammation of the paw. i would recommend taking her to your vet tomorrow morning in order to get it checked and treated.
