How old is your dog?  If she is older and it is very cold where you live, it might be a case of her being too cold to be comfortable outside all the time.  Dogs are just like us.  They feel the cold and heat just the same way that we do.  Just because a dog has a fur coat doesn't mean they can't get cold, so I would try bringing her inside for a couple of days and if she is still acting like she doesn't feel well even after you bring her in to warm up, then she needs to be seen by the vet ASAP since the extreme cold weather can be dangerous for a healthy dog, but for a sick one it can be DEADLY!

Please let us know how she is doing.

Maybe she is cold!!  Bring her inside and see how she is.  If no better, call your Vet.
