Pain when being picked up can be related to many things including pulling the hair, pain in the upper abdominal region (like from the pancreas or liver) or something wrong in the spine or shoulders. The first step is start with a physical exam by her veterinarian. Diagnostics will be determined based upon examine findings. I hope this helps.
