What is wrong with my Yorkie?

My 2 yr old Yorkie has been acting strange last month she acted like her paw hurt and limped for 2 days moping I babied her and in a few days and then she acted fine This month she's started moping again and walks stiff like, with her head slightly turned Is she just doing this for attention (I have 2 other Yorkies) or is she depressed or is she really sick??

Update:

I PLAN on taking her to the vet I just wanted to know if anyone has a dog that acts sick for attention So don't give me advise to take the dog to the vet Maybe if you read the question instead of just trying to get points you can help me!!!!

    Take her to a vet. Better to be safe than sorry.

    Why don't you take the dog to the vet's? We are not vets, nor medical experts. Not a good idea to get advice from total strangers online. Even if we were vet's there's no way possible to diagnose on the internet.

    You put too much human feeling into a dog...is she depressed, does she try to get attention...

    Simplify it..the dog is moping and limping and head is positioned funny = she is hurt, take it to the vet....people here is not about getting points. Geez, who the hell cares about getting points in yahoo, won't help my bank accounts, we want to help.

    When a dog is hurt or sick, you need to take it to the vet. You are not a doctor, neither do we...

  • She could have stepped on something and it's in her foot. Maybe it healed over what ever could be there and she stepped on it the wrong way and it could be irritating her.

    Go to a vet and get that checked out.

    I don't believe any animal "acts" depressed or sick. Do you trim her nails regularly? Does she get the exercise she needs? Unfortunately, I believe there is an ailment and I hope it is discovered and fixed. ~ Good luck!
