This is not normal. Please have Boots seen by a vet right away. She may be dealing with a neurological issue due to trauma, infection, or other causes. Puppies can also develop potentially fatal dehydration and low blood sugar fairly quickly, so it is important to have Boots seen by a vet. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!
