I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem with Cena. Unfortunately, without more information, it's hard to say what might be wrong. "Walking funny" and not wanting to walk could be caused by an orthopedic problem or injury, a neurologic disease of some kind, or ingestion of something toxic. Excessive drooling is most often a sign of nausea, but can also be caused by anxiety or dental problems. I would recommend taking Cena to the vet for an exam. He/she can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
