It sounds like poor Luna is sick! At her age, this could be caused by parvovirus, a life threatening infection of young unvaccinated dogs. It could also be caused by a GI illness, eating something rotten, intestinal parasites, and a foreign body. Young puppies like Luna do not have a fully developed immune system, and can go downhill quickly, so I would take her into a vet immediately. It's important she is checked out right away to make sure she doesn't have a serious illness like parvo. Once the cause is found, the vet can treat her accordingly.
