Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on the information you provided, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would have her blood tested and go from there. She may be in pain / discomfort from whatever is going on. I hope this helps!
