Need Help PLEASE! Is anyone around?! (updated)
Something is up with Molly, and I have no idea what. I'm going to piece together a time line to see if anyone has suggestions. She was fine all day, and we did some retrieves in the yard (she ran around and did bitey face with Penny also)
approx:
7:30pm~ Molly is outside sitting at the bottom of our steps, she is barking (which she doesn't usually do outside) and refuses to come up the stairs. I finally get her up with a lot of coaxing and some peanut butter on a spoon.
9:10pm~ Molly is laying in the kitchen fully awake and she yelps (it was very high pitched), I go in to see what's up and she is all freaked out. I get her to sit and I start to pet her gently, she yelps again when I pat her rear leg (the upper part...not quite her butt) and acts all freaked out. She acts fine after she calms down but is panting heavily.
9:40'ish~ I let her outside, she goes down the stairs fine but refuses to come up them. She was outside for a good 30 minutes just roaming the yard and would NOT come near the stairs. I tried to get her to come up the stairs, put a leash on her and started to walk and when she got near the stairs she yelped. We looked and there is nothing around.
10:05pm: I get her to come inside through the basement (she had to go DOWN the stairs), but now she will not come back up. I tried luring her, calling her, asking if she wanted a car ride but she will not come up the stairs
**I can touch the leg, move it around, and touch any other part of her body and she is fine, but she will NOT come up the stairs. What on earth could be wrong or could have happened to her?! She came upstairs to the second level of the house very slowly before she went outside, but is now avoiding going up all stairs inside and outside the house.
What can/should I do?
TIA!
