If she hasn't been eating well, have her examined by your veterinarian. The "bubble" can be addressed during the exam. If indicated, a fine needle aspirate can be performed in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. It may be related to her other symptoms or not. You can try stimulating her appetite by mixing warm water or a teaspoon of baby food into her food.
