Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is quite concerning. While it is unclear what is exactly going on, this sound serious as it may mean that Heather is very weak due to whatever disease is affecting her. This warrants a veterinary evaluation as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to proceed with a proper examination and a formal diagnosis so that therapy can be started. I am hoping for the best!
