Hello. These are pretty vague signs, but could be an indication of some pain, such as an inflamed intervertebral disc, or impending infection. If these symptoms persist or progress into loss of appetite, lethargy, excessive panting or tremors, please see your veterinarian as soon as possible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
