Without knowing the underlying cause, we cannot recommend a specific treatment. The whining and inactivity are very general symptoms with multiple causes. Look her over for signs of injury or infection. This may include redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding or lameness. Make sure she is warm, fed and doesn't need to go out. If the symptoms persist or worsen, have her physically examined by your veterinarian.
