Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This sudden change in behavior could be due to Trouble being uncomfortable from something. With her age, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her and test her blood and urine for any abnormal changes. If everything comes back normal, this may just be behavioral. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
