Please take Precious to the vet right away. It sounds like she is in pain based on your description, and it's important that she be seen to figure out why and to get her treated. Dairy products can sometimes cause gastrointestinal upset, which may make her current problem worse, so I wouldn't give any more milk. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!
