It sounds like from your description, Ariel was in pain when trying to get onto the bed. She could have pain from her back, hips, or hind legs. I would rest her for the next couple of days. No running, jumping, or playing. Do not allow her to jump on the bed. Take her out to toilet on a lead only, and bring her right back in when she's done. If after 48 hours she is still appearing painful (and you can test it by allowing her her to try to jump on the bed at the end of this rest period), then I would take her into the vet. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from and how best to treat it. The vet may aisle give her pain medications, but please do not give her any human ones. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Good luck, I hope this helps!
