We have an ebony chin who was totally fine rolling in her dust bath, then out of nowhere, she 'forgot' how to roll. She does either a weird flop to the side or does a roll but it was like super slow motion. I have no idea what's causing this. She doesn't appear injured and is eating, drinking fine.

She used to be a bouncing ball but now is more content sitting and though she moves around it seems a little timid about jumping up and down. She walks around fine though, meaning her little hops and everything look normal. She can jump but seems timid, like she has to think about it first.

Is it that when they get older they don't bounce around as much? And how do I 're-teach' her to dust bath roll?
