Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is certainly possible though I think it is more likely that this has more to do with her reacting to being in a new environment. This sometimes happen when dogs move to a new place as they get used to it. If there is no improvement within the next 2-3 days, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!
