From what you are describing, I suspect that she may have a distemper virus infection. This is a very serious disease that needs intensive treatment by a vet doctor. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done for this at home. She needs professional treatment soon, or I'm afraid she will not survive. I hope that helps and Bagheera gets treatment soon.
