Why is my dog shaking and having trouble jumping on furniture?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 8 years old | 11 lbs

My dog has been skaking a little bit and has been reluctant to jump up onto couches and beds but she can still jump off without showing any pain. Can someone please help me?

these are signs of pain, probably from her spine or one of her limbs, you need to take her to the vet to get it checked so the vet can find out where the pain is coming from and treat it accordingly.
