Princess needs to see the veterinarian today. Weakness is never normal and can indicate many things including an electrolyte imbalance, kidney failure, liver failure, hyperthyroidism, an infection in the brain, cancer, low blood sugar and hypertension. A physical exam and bloodwork is needed to begin figuring out the cause and the best treatment. Other diagnostics may also be indicated. The prognosis is generally better if these conditions are addressed early and appropriately. I hope it's nothing too serious and that she gets back to normal quickly.
