Why is my puppy gagging, licking lips, and making strange mouth noises?

Question

My puppy started gagging all of a sudden in the middle of the night. I thought she was going to throw up, but she didn't. After that she started licking her lips a lot and made weird sounds with her mouth. What could it be and what should I do? She also fell off the bed like an hour before that happened so I don't know if that could have anything to do with it? (The bed isn't high at all, so it wasn't that hard of a fall). Pet's info: Dog | Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 29 days old

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Naisha. If she continues to make the noises you described, I recommend that she sees her veterinarian today. She could be experiencing nausea that is making her retch, gag and lick her lips. Other times these noises can actually be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. The puppy will cough and gag. This can occasionally bring up a white foamy fluid. Either way she should be seen as she is such a young puppy. I hope this information helps!
