Is it normal for my pug puppy to sleep with her head up and fall?

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Bella. This seems very odd to me and I would advise consulting your veterinarian regarding this behavior. This could be normal for her but definitely not normal for puppies. It's possible she has a respiratory problem due to her breed that is forcing this kind of posture when she sleeps. I would have one question but you can't answer it here in this forum. Is she completely normal otherwise or does she hold her head in this position at other times? If that's the case, I would wonder about a possible neck problem or even a neurologic problem. Your veterinarian can take a history and perform an examination to assess Bella. If warranted, possible tests could include x-rays or other tests. Good luck
