Those are often symptoms of pain...if Ollie has recently had table food, it is possible she has pancreatitis which can cause abdominal pain. A visit to your veterinarian for a full physical exam to help localize the pain (I.e. to the abdomen or limbs). Screening bloodwork may help provide additional information/allow your vet to prescribe appropriate pain meds if indicated as well. Good luck!
