Est something and get it lodged? Turned stomach? I don't know. Just sounded like a gut shot deer as I read it. Hopefully she gets to feeling better soon.
I put food and water in her kennel so we can determine if she's eating/drinking. She's a chewer, so I'm worried she has something in her guts that's not good.
@bowhunter1023 have you given her flea/tick meds within the last week or two? Sometimes those can lead to a sudden neurological issue, even of the dog’s been on that particular drug previously.
Aside from that, it could likely be something she ate or chewed. Could also be arthritis or a sudden injury that you didn’t notice last night or this morning. Really hard to say. Keep a close eye on her.

No new meds. The most I monitor her, the more I'm inclined to think it's a result of something that was ingested more than skeletal or muscular. She's alternating favoring back legs and despite an absence of vomiting, appears miserable like we would be if we had a belly ache. I've given her a thorough once over and cannot detect any visible injuries or any signs of obvious pain in her abdomen. Just a waiting game at this point.
How are the other dogs treating her? Almost sounds like she had a seizure or something overnight.
Get some peroxide and dump it down her throat. Whatever is in her gut will automatically come out, if it can. It’ll show you if there’s something that shouldn’t be in there…. There’s YouTube videos on how to do it.

Knock on wood, she seems better. Basically laid in her kennel all day, then I coaxed her out to go back to the barn and she showed signs of life. If I didn't know better, I'd say she had a bad trip as much as anything else

At least she feels better now. That should help the nerves for opening the kennel in the morning.
Hopefully just a one off kinda deal and she’s back up to speed tomorrow
Jesse - sounds like a sprained tail. Happened to Gracie a couple years ago. Every time she tried to walk she would act like her legs were giving out on her and would half sit down. It was because she can’t walk without wagging her tail. I thought she was half paralyzed. Was getting ready to haul her to the vet. One of T’s co-workers told us what it was. I gave her anti-inflammatory and she rented a while then was normal. Weirdest shit I ever saw. Frozen tail was what they called it.

I’d still make an appointment with the vet for a check up.….it would also get you on their client list so you could go there for an emergency in the future. Glad everything seems to be getting better.
Wow, never heard it called that before. Have seen dogs who’ve broken their tail. And it’s not pretty.
I wasn't really around this weekend, but the wife said Bo-DAY did awesome camping. His first trip and I'm happy he did well. Couple of pics she took.
