Can you provide some more information.
When did this start?

Has she been vaccinated?
What color are her gums? are they moist?
Do you have any karo or pancake syrup at home?
Has there been any vomiting or diarrhea
syptoms occured very quickly i bathed her with my shampoo garnier fructis I know better! okay her age is five weeks, just now i checked on her vitals on the bed i rolled her on her back and pet her she became despondant, no reaction or attempts to regain posture, stiff no air circulation, (hard body not soft) I also notice color to her nose has went from jet black to pink I carried her out of the room and fed her she is now moving around and chasing her tail and teething she has had water dicloration in nose is still there.

Can you try to get her heart rate you can let her stand to do this just put your hand under her on her chest?
How many times is she fed each day?
Any chance she got into something she should not have?
Did you use anything besides the shampoo, flea medication etc?
I do not know Her bowl is full and she has not been eating i just noticed this today just now
She is Malti poo I put my hand on her chest doctor but inot know how to tell heartrate by hand maam, her heart is beating not rapid kind of strong and i can feel the clicks. possibly i pulled many styrophome shells out of her mouth from an opened packaging box,, she eats grass, also doctor she had trouble today wit her bowel it was stuck and cleaving I propt her to the bath that is when i left her wet in the apartment, no flea medication at all only garnier fructis shampoo, and also i only applied it to her butt.
There are a few things that may be going on. I do not believe the bath had any connection to what you are seeing.
First if she is not eating and is a small dog she will experience a drop in blood glucose this will make them very tired and can be very dangerous. This may be why you saw a sudden improvement as soon as she ate. Get some syrup and give her a few drops if this happens again.Make sure you are feeding her a good food and no human food. She should be eating at least 3 small meals a day.
Most dogs will eat grass for 2 reasons because either they need more fiber in their diet or they have an upset stomach. Make sure you always feed the same thing.Changes in diet can lead to stomach upset, constipation or diarrhea.
Because she has long hair make sure you shave the area around the rectum to keep the feces from getting stuck or wash the bottom after each bowel movement.
Make sure you watch her closely the next few days in case she digested some of the styrofoam.If she begins vomiting, stops producing stool or becomes unresponsive please take her in.
Here is a link to some agencies that may have funds to help should you need to see a vet.
