She could have a parasite, infection, or some colitis from something she ate. It is a little concerning that she is lethargic. Take a stool sample to your vet and have it tested for parasites. She may need to be dewormed. You could also offer her a bland diet, like boiled chicken and white rice and see if that helps. If her signs persist or worsen then she needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause.
