Poor Dexter! The symptoms you describe are usually caused by some type of pain or discomfort, but it's hard to say more specifically what might be wrong without being able to examine him in person. He may have back or neck pain due to a "slipped" or herniated disc, abdominal pain due to an upset stomach, or he may have been injured somehow. Since it sounds like Dexter is quite uncomfortable, I would really recommend taking him to a vet today - he/she can do a complete physical exam to help determine where he might be painful, and may also recommend x-rays or other testing if needed to diagnose the problem.
