My 2-month old puppy is limp and shaky while sleeping. Should I worry?

Question

My two month old puppy has been acting strange in the morning lately; she seems to be asleep but whenever I shake her gently to wake her up, she doesn't budge and her paw begins to shake. She gives off soft whines and remains on her side. When I try picking her up, she goes limp. Is this cause for concern or is she just in a deep sleep? Her breathing and heart rate seem normal.

Puppies do tend to sleep very deeply and they do dream more than adult dogs. I recommend to record one of these episodes. Start filing before you begin to stimulate her and then record the entire session until she is fully awake. Show it to her veterinarian. This will help to give a better idea of pathology or not. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
