It sounds like Chutki may be experiencing some pain, such as arthritis or another issue, especially if she is stiff when getting up and first walking. Talking with your vet about getting her on a pain or joint medication may help. Sleeping in mud is also probably not good for her joints, and mud can get very cold in the winter depending on your climate, so making sure Chutki has a shelter she can sleep in such as a dog house or other warmer area (with comfy bedding) is best. If you suspect she is having stomach pain, seeking out an exam with your vet is a good idea to rule out any issues.
