Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This could be because she has developed a gastrointestinal obstruction or has gastrointestinal upset for example. I recommend that you have Chloe evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these abnormalities so that she can be treated accordingly. Best of luck!
