Hello, I'm sorry to hear that Stella isn't behaving like normal- it does sound like she could have some abdominal pain and/or weakness with what you're describing. Sometimes the abdomen can become distended with certain diseases or fluid build up. I'd recommend having Stella examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
