My dog is acting very strange lately. She yelps every time I pick her up & she also gets extremely scared and pees on herself when I get too close. This is very unlike her. She has had impacted anal glands before so I am wondering if they may be impacted/infected this time causing her to be in a lot of pain. She also cannot jump up on the couch or bed on her own which she usually can do. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, I'm so sorry to hear this about Kaya. I agree that it does sound like she could be in pain- pain from an anal gland infection, or belly or back pain would be my first suspicions. I'd take her to see a veterinarian as soon as possible- they will be able to recommend the best diagnostics and treatments after a physical exam. Best of luck and take good care to both of you.
