My rescue dog killed a raccoon and has since been lethargic, refusing food and water, and having great trouble standing due to stiff legs. The vet has done blood tests and x-rays but found nothing. What could be causing this and what further steps should be taken?

My normally hyper-active and food-obsessed dog, Laika, a 2.5-year-old who had heartworm treatment in March 2018, suddenly refused food and refused to go on a walk. What could be the cause of this sudden change in behavior, and should I be concerned enough to take her to the vet?
