Bubbles needs to be examined by the veterinarian today. It sounds like she is feeling terrible. Just like people, there are many conditions that can make pets feel sick. This could range from bacterial over growth to intestinal blockage. Also like us, diseases are best addressed early and this may result in a better prognosis. The fact that she can't lay in one position likely indicates that she is in pain as well. I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. The doctor will need to learn the underlying cause in order to give appropriate treatment. Bring in a stool sample in case the doctor needs to test it. I hope Bubbles starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!
