That sounds serious and I recommend to have Bailey seen today by her veterinarian. The main things that come to mind are an injury of some sort or congenital abnormality to the neck or spine. Any injury however to the legs could look like this if Bailey is in so much pain that she does not want to move. Severe GI pain from an intestinal blockage may also look like this. An infection could also make a pet not want to move around and feel very bad. Regardless, it's been going on for a week and it's not going away. Get her in today to get the prices started to figure out the cause. I hope this is helpful and please feel free topmost any additional questions.
