I am very concerned as well.
I am mostly worried because you said that her gums look slightly purple and her heart is beating fast. Because of this, I am concerned that she may have a primary heart or lung problem, or even an organ or hormone problem (kidneys or liver or thyroid). Any of these conditions could make her unwilling to eat much. My experience with Cockers is they are usually very good eaters and keep their weight up easily under normal circumstances.
I agree with you. This is NOT normal, and she needs to see a vet to rule out a physical problem.
Good luck!
