Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With these symptoms, it sounds as though she could be suffering from pain due to an injury. It is also possible that her walking backwards is due to something neurologically abnormal. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
