Is there any chance she could have ingested [marijuana](https://www.petcoach.co/article/what-should-i-do-if-my-pet-eats-marijuana)? These symptoms are typical of this kind of [intoxication](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/marijuana-toxicosis). Obviously it could be a behavioral issue as well, maybe something is causing her some [stress](https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-surprising-ways-stress-can-impact-your-pet). It could also be a neurological problem or other toxicity. Monitor her and if symptoms persist or worsen, consider a physical exam with your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER.
