Thank you for submitting your question regarding your Butterfinger. I recommend seeing a veterinarian as this behavior is abnormal and can indicate pain. She may also be scared, running a fever or otherwise sick. The veterinarian will examine her and determine if treatment is needed. I hope this information helps!
