Poor Trixie! I'm afraid these are very concerning symptoms, especially in such a young puppy. It's hard to say what might be causing this without being able to examine her and do some testing, but it sounds like she's quite uncomfortable - she may have parvo, an intestinal obstruction due to something she ate, or may have ingested something toxic. I would recommend taking her to a vet right away for an exam - he/she can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and get her started on appropriate treatment.
