please help! i have a 1yr old chihuahua and yesterday i noticed that her ears were red. i hadn't bathed her for a while so i thought maybe she was dirty or had ear mites. i bathed here, then noticed her whole body was red. she seemed real scared and confused. the redness went away but what most concerns me is that she doesn't want to walk. her legs get stiff and she doesn't move. i was told it could be constipation, but why the redness.
i took a nap this afternoon and i had her under my covers. i woke up from the nap to find that she was in the same spot, panting hard, and she pissed herself. i thought right away that she was paralized and freaked out. i took her to the kitchen to give her water. i tried to stand her up and she fell.
we put her food down and she gobbled it up. she started walking but with limited movement. she's responsive when i call her name and her tail wags. my dad suggested she may have been bitten by a spider. what should i do?
i'm really worried. please give me advice before i take her to the vet.
