Dog quiet, tail tucked, grunting, can't jump: Is she in pain?

Question

My dog is acting very quiet and her tail is between her legs and she’s making a little sound as if she’s in pain like a little grunt under her breath. She normally sits on the couch with me but is just putting two paws on me and looking as though she can’t jump up.

It sounds like Cookie may be in pain. I recommend resting here for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. She may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
