I have a 9-1/2 year old female boxer named Roxy who has become very weak, shows signs of pain, shivers, and has difficulty moving and finding a comfortable position. She also has intermittent periods of lethargy and decreased appetite and hydration.

What could be causing her current condition and what should I do?
