Panting, shivering the tail tucked between her legs, shaking and heavy breathing are all signs of pain. I recommend you take Nugget to an emergency room now as there may another back sprain or even a prolapsed disk. She will need pain medicine and muscle relaxants depending on the diagnosis, as well as possibly an x-ray.
