No, this isn't normal and this can be sign of a respiratory infection or allergies. It would be best for Oreo to see a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated. I would have her seen by a vet this weekend if they are open for normal business hours; if not, I would take her in on Monday. Make sure she keeps eating and drinking, and stays warm. If she appears congested, you can try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. I hope this helps!
