Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hershey. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. She could be experiencing vestibular disease, neck or back pain. The veterinarian will assess her symptoms and determine how best to help her. In the meantime, keep her quiet and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
