Last night my puppy woke up and started to cry excessively. At first, I thought it was just begging for attention so I ignored it.

Later it started to chew its tail (you can hear a faint sound) and did some weird feet tapping thing and then proceeded to scratch with its legs. It kept on doing this once in awhile, but then it stopped. She would also keep on running to a specific closed door in the basement and cry next to it.

At the moment, the puppy isn't crying, but she does chew her paws and tails and also scratches herself. Is this a case of fleas?

She was just seperated from its mother a few days ago. Is this a case of fleas, allergies or just she's just missing her mom?
