I was thinking about you last night and it came to my mind to wonder how thoroughly your vet checked the pup out when she fell off the couch. Is it possible she cracked a rib or something that is undiagnosed and that's hurting her and why she doesn't like you to try to lift her up when she's sleeping?

Also with the resource guarding, I would definitely work on it slowly, but bear in mind that the dog is very young and hasn't learned yet that you are not a threat to food or posessions. It is not necessary to impose yourself on the pup "constantly" to prevent this.
