Thank you for submitting your question regarding Snoopy. It does not sound like she is feeling well and will need to see a veterinarian if her symptoms persist. I worry that she is experiencing pain with her crying. Small breed dogs can be prone to neck or back pain. The muscles lining the spine can spasm in response to inflammation within the spine. In this case, she would need medications to control her pain. Be sure to keep her quiet in the meantime and do not give any over-the-counter pain medications. Encourage her to eat and drink if you can. I hope this information helps!
