I’m sorry to hear that Beans isn’t feeling well. Back pain could cause these signs, but so could extreme lethargy from a myriad of other issues such as anemia, kidney disease, liver disease, etc. If she is as weak as you describe then I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Here is a search I did for veterinary emergency clinics near your zip code. http://www.petflight.com/zip_codes/61081/vet_clinics Best of luck and I hope she improves soon.
