  The symptoms you describe fall under the category of colitis. This may be caused by several things, including stress, parasites, dietary indiscretion, viral diseases, etc. In a puppy, I would definitely have her see a vet to assess her hydration status, temperature, demeanor, etc. The worry is we want to make sure she doesnt have a viral disease called Parvovirus which can be extremely debilitating, even fatal. Also, dehydration can really hit puppies quite hard. So, make sure you get her to a vet as soon as possible.
