My dog whines when moving, is slower, and won't jump. Is she hurt?

She still eats and drinks and runs outside, but ive noticed she doesnt move as fast as before. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 100 lbs

It's very possible she is experiencing some pain. You didn't mention how old Kourtney is, but arthritis is very common in older dogs. Other issues such as inflammation, slipped discs, injury, etc can also cause pain and stiffness. If the symptoms continue, or she seems in distress, scheduling a visit with your vet is best. They can check for the underlying cause, and get her started on a combination of medications such as glucosamine for joint issues, or pain and inflammatory meds to help her feel better.
