That is very interesting. Thanks for using pet coach. It is possible when she is anxious and very excited she is having a small seizures, having decreased cardiac function or even a breathing issue like collapsing trachea. With a pug they are more prone to breathing issues due to there elongated soft palpate and small airways. I would recommend trying to video tape the episode and showing it to your vet for a better assessment. With Ruby being young I would recommend having some basic blood work done to make sure there is not issues with liver function too. I think consulting a vet would be best after an episode. I hope that helps
