My active puppy suddenly stopped jumping. Is she in pain?

Question

Hi so my puppy is very active. The past two days she won't jump up onto the bed or recliner anymore. But nothing else is wrong we go on walks she's fine she's eating and playing as normal. And no limping. Why won't she jump? Until two days ago she would jump. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 6 months and 3 days old | 30 lbs

To me this sounds like Echo is likely in some degree of pain. A change in activity is often a sign of pain. Most dogs don't actively whine or complain when they are uncomfortable or painful. If back or neck pain is present a dog won't always limp. This article discusses other signs of pain: https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-5-signs-your-pet-is-in-pain/ I'd recommend taking Echo to see a veterinarian to be examined. Please remember there are no safe over the counter pain medications for dogs so you will need to have medication prescribed by a veterinarian. Until you can get to your veterinarian I'd suggest making sure Echo stays rested - don't allow running, jumping, or stair use. Thanks for using PetCoach and I hope Echo's issue resolves quickly!
