I’m so sorry to hear about what is going on with Sotu. Unfortunately it sounds as if she sustained some major injuries early in her life that are still affecting her. My best recommendation would be to take her to your veterinarian to be evaluated. And even with veterinary care she may not make it. If you have any additional questions or concerns please let us know. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
