I am sorry Sarahfina is not feeling well. I would highly recommend taking her to a vet as soon as possible. The things you are mentioning above are all signs of illness. The feather picking is most likely due to stress from being ill. I would be concerned about parasites, infectious disease or even organ disease. Unfortunately the price will depend on where you live and what vet you take her to. Most likely the vet will wants to start out with some basic blood work to see how her organs are functioning. Hope that sarahfina feels better soon
