toy rat terrier acting strange

ive had my puppy, her name is Felony, for around 3 months now, and once she was big enough to jump on and off of the couch/bed/chair and such, she has been very hyper, always running, always chewing on her toys,

and today was the same, until about 5 or 6 hours ago, she was making noises like she was going to throw up(shes done this before a few times but only on the car ride home from the vets after getting her shots)and then she finally threw up, not very much, nothing compared to the usual amount, and then she was running around again, then a few hours ago, i found her just laying on the carpet next to one of her toys, the only time she ever lays down is to fall asleep

but shes been laying down, with her eyes open, just looking around ever since, im worried that something isnt right, when i try to hold her, she climbs off me and goes to the bed, when i squeek her toys she doesnt come after them, and normally her ears are floppy, but today theyre sticking straight out, not sure if theyre just starting to stand, or what

please if someone could help let me know what you think is going on

-ops

You didn't say, is she eating/drinking, and pooping as normal? Does the breathing sound different? Does the tummy feel hard?

She isn't reacting painfully to touch which is good, but if the symptoms persist past a day, I would go straight to the vet.

she was eating and drinking just fine earlier when she was playing, but since she layed down she hasnt eaten or drank, her stomache feels normal, and her breathing sounds fine, she is shaking a lil, but i think she was cold cuz i had my window in my room open, so i closed it, and im waiting to see if that helps the shaking

she looks really alert right now, like she keeps scanning the room =/

i took her out of my room to her food and water, but she didnt want to eat or drink, although she did want some of my friends apple pie O_o

and then she was running around a little bit, but still wouldnt go after her toys, and now shes back in my room, shell walk a lil, then just sit and look =/

its like she matured in just a few hours.. but thats not right =/

Sounds to me like she's not feeling well. If she's acting this way for more than a day, it's time for the vet to have a look at her. When they stop eating/drinking something isn't right and you don't want to wait till she's dehydrated and really sick. Good luck.
